The viscosity of a soda-lime-silica glass has been measured at the National Bureau of Standards and seven other laboratories. Determinations were made in the range of 102 to 1015 poises. The rotating cylinder was used at the higher temperatures...

An account is given of the design, performance, and method of operation of a concentric cylinder rotational viscoelastometer. The instrument is designed for measurement of flow and time-dependent elastic recovery of viscous elastic liquids for...
The BKZ elastic fluid theory is used to correlate experimental results obtained in biaxial strain and steady simple shear. With a heuristic potential function involving three material properties, excellent agreement is obtained between theory and...
Measurements made on dental amalgam in tension indicate that amalgam exhibits three types of viscoelastic phenomena: (1) instantaneous elastic strain, (2) retarded elastic strain (transient creep), and (3) viscous strain (steady state creep). The...
The neutron index of refraction is generally derived theoretically in the Fermi approximation. However, the Fermi approximation neglects the effects of the binding of the nuclei of a material as well as multiple scattering. Calculations by Nowak...
In this paper, virtual reality techniques are used to define an intuitive interface to a nanoscale manipulation device. This device utilizes optical methods to focus laser light to trap and reposition nano-to-microscopic particles. The underlying...

This image is part of the Automated Manufacturing Research Facility collection. In 1979 National Bureau of Standards (NBS) scientists realized the significance to American industry of a factory in which every part could be made automatically, with...
A direct response to the Computer Security Act of 1987 could be seen in a joint NIST-National Security Agency project report published in September 1990. Instructed by the act to receive and review Federal security plans for unclassified but...
