Abstract: A unique method of determining the dynamic elastic modulus at elevated temperatures is reported. It consists of discharging a low-inductance capacitor bank through a preheated thin rod of the ...

Abstract: This paper reports the theoretical assessment of cracking which may occur when a severe cycle comprising alternate upshocks and downshocks is applied to an axisymmetric feature with an internal, ...

Abstract: Displacement measurement in atomic force microscopy (AFM) is most commonly obtained indirectly by measuring the slope of the AFM probe and applying a calibration factor. Static calibration ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of an experiment in which a severe thermal cycle comprising of alternate upshocks and downshocks has been applied to an axisymmetric feature with an internal, ...

Abstract: Nuclear Energy Institute guidelines present a standard for assessing shock effects due to aircraft impact on nuclear power plants. The guidelines provide the capacity of equipment to survive shock-induced loading from ...
