The vapor pressure of carbon dioxide at 0 C, or at 0.01 C, has been used as a fixed point on the pressure scale. Comparisons between laboratories may be affected equally by pressure measurements, temperature measurements, and the purity (and...
A Fabry-Perot spectrometer with a piezoelectric spacer was constructed to record with a recorder, or display with an oscilloscope, the fine structure of the Haidinger fringes. The spectrometer is of the fixed spacer design, which provides great...
A far-infrared vacuum grating spectrometer has been designed, built and tested at the National Bureau of Standards. This instrument has been in operation and under constant improvement for the past two years. Its useful range of operation is from...
The limits to the error due to truncation of the numeric integration of the one-sided Laplace transform of a relaxation function in the time domain into its equivalent frequency domain are established. Separate results are given for large and small...
This paper presents a finite element study of transient wave propagation in plates containing planar flaws. The effects on displacement waveforms caused by waves diffracted from the sharp edges of a flaw are determined. Displacement fields within a...
Studies of transient wave propagation in plates were carried out to establish a basis for the impact-echo technique as a nondestructive test for flaw detection in concrete. The surface displacements caused by stress waves generated by point impact...
This image is part of the Leather Research collection. The Leather Research collection consists of images of National Bureau of Standards (NBS) employees engaged in leather research during periods ranging from 1919 to the early 1960s. After the...
Distribution of intensity; integral equation; scattering cross section; slit correction; small-angle x-ray scattering
Slit shaped apertures are usually used in small-angle x-ray scattering measurements in order to obtain easily measured intensities of scattered radiation. As a result, the scattering intensity at a given angle determined by the camera, the center...
