November 1, 1987
Author(s)
Richard D. Peacock
The Center for Fire Research at the National Bureau of Standards has been involved in research related to wood heating safety for more than seven years. Areas of interest have included: typical operating conditions of modern heating appliances, intensity

Architecture to Support Teleoperation and Autonomy

October 23, 1987
Author(s)
Ronald Lumia, James S. Albus
The Flight Telerobotic Servicer (FTS) will support assembly and maintenance activities for the Space Station. In order for the FTS to evolve with technology, careful attention must be paid to the system''s functional architecture. This paper describes an

Results from an investigation to determine the cause of the collapse of the L'Ambiance Plaza building on April 23, 1987 are presented. The building was being constructed using the lift-slab method: collapse occurred during construction. The investigation

Quantitative characterization of the viscosity of a microemulsion

September 15, 1987
Author(s)
Robert Berg, Michael Moldover, John S. Huang
We have measured the viscosity of the three-component microemulsion water/decane/ AOT as a function of temperature and droplet volume fraction. At temperatures well below the phaseseparation temperature the viscosity is described by treating the droplets

Contour-to-Grid Interpolation with Nonlinear Finite Elements: A Feasibility Study

September 1, 1987
