Rapid evaporation at the superheat limit of methanol, ethanol, butanol and n-heptane on platinum films supported by low-stress SiN membranes

June 7, 2016
Author(s)
Eric J. Ching, C. T. Avedisian, Richard E. Cavicchi, Do H. Chung, Jeff Rah, Michael J. Carrier
The bubble nucleation temperatures of several organic liquids (methanol, ethanol, butanol,n-heptane) on stress-minimized platinum (Pt) films supported by SiN membranes is examined by pulse-heating the membranes for times ranging from 1 υs to 10 υs. The

Weber, Lennart Wissel, Andreas Wittchen, Andrea Zambotti, Carlo Zanoni, Tobias Ziegler, Peter Zweifel
We report the first results of the LISA Pathfinder in-flight experiment. The results demonstrate that two free-falling reference test masses, such as those needed for a space-based gravitational wave observatory like LISA, can be put in free fall with a

The performance of structural steel beams subject to a localized fire

June 7, 2016
Author(s)
Lisa Choe, Selvarajah Ramesh, Chao Zhang, John L. Gross
This paper presents the results from the open flame, localized fire tests conducted on the 6.17-m long, simply supported W16×26 beam specimens. The cross sections at midspan (i.e. expected plastic hinge zone) of the beam specimen directly exposed to the

Derived PIV Application and Data Model Test Guidelines

Author(s)
David Cooper, Hildegard Ferraiolo, Ramaswamy Chandramouli, Nabil Ghadiali, Jason Mohler, Steven Brady
NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-157 contains technical guidelines for the implementation of standards-based, secure, reliable, interoperable Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)-based identity credentials that are issued for mobile devices by federal

FEA parameter verification for strain localization experiments

June 6, 2016
Author(s)
Mark A. Iadicola, Dilip K. Banerjee, Adam A. Creuziger
Multi-axial specimen geometry optimization through finite element analysis requires robust models that incorporate the critical physics of the experiment as well as a sufficiently robust constitutive law. This can be difficult even at low nominal strain

Opportunities for Inverse Analysis in Dynamic Tensile Testing

June 6, 2016
Author(s)
Steven P. Mates, Fadi Abu-Farha
Dynamic tensile testing using Kolsky Bar methods are used to assess crashworthiness of new structural materials needed for lightweight automotive design. High speed Digital Image Correlation (DIC) measurements routinely show that the strain experienced by

Phase-coherent microwave-to-optical link with a self-referenced microcomb

Author(s)
Pascal P. Del'Haye, Aurelien C. Coillet, Tara M. Fortier, Katja M. Beha, Daniel C. Cole, Hansuek Lee, Kerry J. Vahala, Scott B. Papp, Scott A. Diddams
The counting and control of optical cycles of light has become common with modelocked laser frequency combs. But even with advances in laser technology, modelocked laser combs remain bulk-component devices that are hand-assembled. In contrast, a frequency

Propagation of Error from Registration Parameters to Transformed Data

June 6, 2016
Author(s)
Mili Shah, Marek Franaszek, Geraldine Cheok
Methods to register two sets of data have existed for quite some time. However, these sets of data are rarely error-free. Consequently, any parameters obtained from a registration method will be affected by the error in the sets of data. Moreover, if these

Thermometry with Optomechanical Cavities

Thomas P. Purdy, Karen E. Grutter, Kartik Srinivasan, Nikolai Klimov, Zeeshan Ahmed, Jacob Taylor
Thermally-driven motion of a nanomechanical resonator may be employed as an absolute thermometer. We experimentally measure radiation pressure shot noise induced quantum correlations to absolutely calibrate the motional signal transduced onto an optical

Measurement of DNA repair protein apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) in human tissues by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry with isotope dilution
