Among the first decisions to be made when initiating a composites testing program is the selection of test methods to follow. Unless performing highly customized testing, it’s usually not difficult to ...
Development of a new automated test method to measure the wax appearance temperature (WAT) of opaque crude oils with 1.0° C. precision used a modified version of American Society of Testing and ...
In my previous column (see “Editor's Picks,” at right), I discussed transverse flexural testing of a unidirectional composite as one method of evaluating the strength of the fiber/matrix interfacial ...
The Washington-based Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), Washington recently completed a potential multimaterial 2D/3D sorting test method, “Evaluation of the 2D/3D Sorting Potential of a Whole ...
There are a multitude of available test procedures and methods for water and wastewater treatment operators. They range from colorimetric, titrimetric, electrometric (meter & probe), turbimetric, ...
Dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) assays, now available for most species (human, livestock), make it possible to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using linkage disequilibrium (LD) between ...
The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) updated a document serving a recommended practice for determining test methodology for laboratory and field testing of exterior wall systems. The ...
Traditional IC pattern-generation methods focus on detectingdefects at gate terminals or at interconnects. Unfortunately, a significantpopulation of defects may occur within an IC's gates, or cells.
Today's methods for BER (bit-error-rate) testing of high-speed serial links such as PCIe and SATA rely on predetermined patterns that don't represent real-world situations. These patterns use a ...
