Application of Digital Image Correlation to Structures in Fire

June 4, 2018
Author(s)
Christopher M. Smith, Matthew Hoehler
The behavior of engineering structures in fire is commonly studied through large-scale experiments. However, temperature-varying material properties, spatially-varying thermal loading and complicated structure geometries result in these structures

Demonstration of a Chamber for Strain Mapping of Steel Specimens Under Mechanical Load in a Hydrogen Environment by Synchrotron Radiation

June 4, 2018
Author(s)
Matthew J. Connolly, Peter E. Bradley, Damian S. Lauria, Andrew J. Slifka, Elizabeth S. Drexler
We present a demonstration of a chamber for diffraction measurements of lattice strain for specimens in hydrogen gas under mechanical load. The chamber is suitable for static and cyclic mechanical loading. Synchrotron x-ray radiographs of a fatigue crack

Distributed Algorithm for Suppressing Epidemic Spread in Networks

June 4, 2018
Author(s)
Van Sy Mai, Abdella Battou, Kevin L. Mills
This paper considers problems related to suppressing epidemic spread over networks given limited curing resources. The spreading dynamic is captured by a susceptible-infected- susceptible model. The epidemic threshold and recovery speed are determined by

Octave-spanning dual frequency comb spectroscopy in the molecular fingerprint region

June 4, 2018
Author(s)
Henry R. Timmers, Abijith S. Kowligy, Alexander J. Lind, Flavio Caldas da Cruz, Nima Nader, Myles C. Silfies, Thomas K. Allison, Gabriel G. Ycas, Peter G. Schunemann, Scott B. Papp, Scott A. Diddams
Spectroscopy in the molecular fingerprint spectral region (6.5-20 $\mu$m) yields critical information on material structure for physical, chemical and biological sciences. Despite decades of effort, this portion of the electromagnetic spectrum remains

An update on dose calibrator settings for nuclides used in nuclear medicine

June 1, 2018
Author(s)
Denis E. Bergeron, Jeffrey T. Cessna
Most clinical measurements of radioactivity, whether for therapeutic or imaging nuclides, rely on commercial reentrant ionization chambers (“dose calibrators”). The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) maintains a battery of representative

DETECTORS FOR LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

June 1, 2018
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table provides some comparative data for interpretation of results from the more common detectors applied to high-performance liquid chromatography1-6. In general, the operational parameters provided are for optimized systems, and represent

Development of combined microstructure and structure characterization facility for in situ and operando studies at the Advanced Photon Source

June 1, 2018
Author(s)
Jan Ilavsky, Fan Zhang, Ross N. Andrews, Ivan Kuzmenko, Pete R. Jemian, Lyle E. Levine, Andrew J. Allen
Following many years of evolutionary development, first at the National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and then at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne National Laboratory, the APS ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS)

EDS Microanalysis: Pushing the Limits

June 1, 2018
Author(s)
Nicholas Ritchie, Dale E. Newbury, Michael Mengason, Heather Lowers
It is a great time to be a microanalyst. After a few decades of incremental progress in energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), the last decade has seen the accuracy and precision surge forward. Today, the question is not whether EDS is generally

Highly Reversible Zinc Metal Anode for Aqueous Batteries

June 1, 2018
Author(s)
Fei Wang, Oleg Borodin, Tao Gao, Xiulin Fan, Wei Sun, Fudong Han, Antonio Faraone, Joseph Dura, Kang Xu, Chunsheng Wang
Metallic zinc (Zn) has been regarded as an ideal anode material for aqueous batteries, because of its high theoretical capacity (820 mAh/g), low electrochemical potential (-0.762 V vs. SHE), high abundance, low toxicity and intrinsic safety. There has been
