Outdoor Siren Systems: A review of technology, usage and public response during emergencies

February 6, 2017

Author(s)

Erica D. Kuligowski, Katrina Wakeman

The NIST Technical Investigation of the 2011 Joplin, MO tornado identified that no widely accepted standards exist for emergency communications in tornado events and more specifically, policies involving the use of outdoor siren systems to alert the public

Exposing Fencing Assemblies to Firebrand Showers Characteristic of Burning Structures

February 5, 2017

Author(s)

Samuel Manzello, Sayaka Suzuki, Ichiro Hagiwara

Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires have devastated communities on multiple continents. Large outdoor fires in Japan mainly occur due to post-earthquake fires, which may result in severe urban fire spread. Once structures are ignited in these fires

Fire-blocking Performance of Laminated Barrier Fabrics: Cone Calorimetric Characterization

February 4, 2017

Author(s)

Shonali Nazare, William M. Pitts, John R. Shields

The fire blocking performance of barrier fabrics laminated to upholstery materials was investigated. The results are two-fold. The first involves information gathered directly from cone calorimetry tests conducted on foam/fabric composites to better

ITERATIVE DESIGN OF RIGID STRUCTURES FOR WIND USING TIME SERIES OF DEMAND-TO-CAPACITY INDEXES

February 1, 2017

Author(s)

Filmon Habte, Arindam Chowdhury, DongHun Yeo, Emil Simiu

Estimates of wind effects on rigid buildings by database-assisted design (DAD) methods can be far more accurate than those based on information available in standards. An upgraded version of DAD is presented that streamlines the wind engineering/structural

Impact of UV irradiation on multiwall carbon nanotubes in nanocomposites: formation of entangled surface layer and mechanisms of release resistance

January 31, 2017

Author(s)

Tinh Nguyen, Elijah J. Petersen, Bastien T. Pellegrin, Justin M. Gorham, Thomas F. Lam, Minhua Zhao, Li Piin Sung

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are increasingly used in consumer and structural polymeric products to enhance a variety of properties. Under weathering, the polymer matrix will degrade and the nanofillers will potentially be released from the products, which

Collaborative guarded-hot-plate tests between the Laboratoire national de metrologie et dessais and the National Institute of Standards and Technology

January 20, 2017

Author(s)

Robert R. Zarr, William F. Guthrie, Bruno Hay, Alain Koenen

A collaborative study to compare the long-term measurement performance between guardedhot- plate facilities at the Laboratoire national de métrologie et dessais (LNE) in France and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United

Performance Data from the NIST Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility

January 17, 2017

Author(s)

William M. Healy, Arthur H. Fanney, Brian P. Dougherty, Lisa C. Ng, William V. Payne, Tania Ullah, Farhad Omar

Data were collected over two separate year-long test periods at the Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility, a laboratory that is designed to evaluate a variety of technologies and operational strategies that lead to energy efficient houses with

Engineering Approach for Designing a Thermal Test of Real-scale Steel Beam Exposed to Localized Fire

January 13, 2017

Author(s)

Chao Zhang, Lisa Y. Choe, John L. Gross, Selvarajah Ramesh, Matthew F. Bundy

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has completed construction of a new facility, the National Fire Research Laboratory (NFRL), which allows scientists and engineers to conduct research on the response of real-scale structural systems

Determination of Vertical Borehole and Geological Formation Properties using the Crossed Contour Method

January 9, 2017

Author(s)

Brian P. Leyde, S. A. Klein, G. F. Nellis, Harrison Skye

This paper presents a new method called the Crossed Contour Method for determining the effective properties (borehole radius and ground thermal conductivity) of a vertical ground-coupled heat exchanger. The method has been applied to both simulated and

VISCOSITY, DENSITY, AND THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF ALUMINUM OXIDE AND ZINC OXIDE NANOLUBRICANTS

January 3, 2017

Author(s)

Mark A. Kedzierski, Riccardo Brignoli, Kevin Quine, J S. Brown

This paper presents liquid kinematic viscosity, density, and thermal conductivity measurements of eleven different synthetic polyolester-based nanoparticle dispersions (nanolubricants) at atmospheric pressure over the temperature range 288 K to 318 K. Both
