Investigation And Application Of The Frustrated-Total-Internal-Reflection Phenomenon in Optical Fibers
(Optical Society of America, 1997-12-01)A detailed investigation of the frustrated-total-internal-reflection (FTIR) phenomenon in silica-glass-based optical fibers and its application to simple intensity-modulated strain and pressure sensors is presented. Such ... -
Investigation into Polyurethane at Varying Dose Rates of Ionizing Radiation for Clinical Application
(Hindawi, 2018-10-01)Polyurethanes (PUs) are commonly used materials for medical devices. These devices are exposed repeatedly to radiation when patients undergo radiotherapy treatments. It has been found that peripherally inserted central ... -
Investigation into State-of-Health Impedance Diagnostic for 26650 4P1S Battery Packs
(2017)State-of-Health (SoH) is a critical parameter for determining the safe operating area of a battery cell and battery packs to avoid abuse and prevent failure and accidents. Experiments were performed at the US Naval Research ... -
Investigation of Conical Spinneret in Generating More Dense and Compact Electrospun Nanofibers
(MDPI, 2017-12-22)Electrospinning is an important, widely used process to generate nanofibers. However, there is still an open window for different designs of both spinneret and collector electrodes to be investigated. This paper introduces ... -
Investigation of external noise and its rejection in magnetoelectric sensor design
(American Institute of Physics, 2009-07-15)Laminated magnetoelectric (ME) composites consisting of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric layers are an important class of magnetic sensors. Here, we will present a means to design ME sensors with in-built capabilities ... -
Investigation of helium at a Y2Ti2O7 nanocluster embedded in a BCC Fe matrix
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-10-18)Nanostructured ferritic alloys (NFAs) are prime candidates for structural and first wall components of fission and fusion reactors. The main reason for this is their ability to effectively withstand high concentrations of ... -
Investigation of Long-Term Prestress Losses in Pretensioned High Performance Concrete Girders
(Virginia Center for Transportation Innovation and Research, 2005-06-01)Effective determination of long-term prestress losses is important in the design of prestressed concrete bridges. Over-predicting prestress losses results in an overly conservative design for service load stresses, and ... -
