The Differential Surface Refractometer, and instrument based on the principles of surface refractometry, and modifications of this instrument as required to extend its usefulness to other glass types, is capable of determining the magnitude of the surface compression, in psi, present on tempered glass by nondestructive means. Since the strength of glass is dependent upon the strength of its surface, this ability to measure the surface compression of tempered glass enables one to assess the...

An experimental investigation of super-resolution imaging from measurements of projections onto a random basis is presented. In particular, a laboratory imaging system was constructed following an architecture that has become familiar from the theory of compressive sensing. The system uses a digital micromirror array located at an intermediate image plane to introduce binary matrices that represent members of a basis set. The system model was developed from experimentally acquired calibration...

We extend our recent work where a screw dislocation in FCC Ni was found to spontaneously attain a low-energy partially cross-slipped configuration upon intersecting a forest dislocation. Using atomistic (molecular statics) simulations with embedded atom potentials, we evaluate the activation barrier for a dislocation to transform from fully residing on the glide plane to fully residing on the cross-slip plane intersecting a forest dislocation. The activation energies were obtained by...

Energy absorbing mechanisms in sand subjected to one-dimensional compression are reported. For pressures below crushing of the grains, a granular medium of equal radii elastic spheres in a face-centered cubic array is analyzed. Expressions are obtained for the axial stress-strain curve, constrained modulus, coefficient of earth pressure at rest, and relationship between absorbed energy and input energy for one cycle of loading. The energy absorbed as a result of crushing is considered by...

Static and dynamic one-dimensional compression tests were performed on each of ten 5-inch undisturbed shelby tube soil samples taken from the site of Operation Snowball at the Suffield Experimental Station. The maximum stresses attained were generally in the 390 to 1,300 psi range. The results of the tests are presented in the form of plots of axial stress versus axial strain, constrained modulus versus axial stress, and radial stress versus axial stress. The dynamic modulus observed for the...

The report describes the theory for recovering information from sparse signal representations in distributed sensing applications. This theory is useful in streamlining networking and decoding operations over bandwidth constrained wireless networks. Using these results, we can for example transport and store a single combined measurement set, rather than multiple sets from all sensors. We show that via source separation and joint decoding, it is possible to recover information about the...

A two year program was initiated on October 1, 1990 to pursue new approaches on improving the compressive properties of polymer based composites. This included work directed at new kinds of reinforcing agents, improved matrices and on the fiber matrix interface. A number of significant breakthroughs were achieved as a result of this study. In the case of the polymer matrix studies sufficient progress was made to justify additional funding and time extensions.

Compression creep and compression constant strain-rate tests were performed on thick wall cylindrical specimens of aluminum alloy 2024-0 at 500F (533K). Using the assumption that the equation of state of the material is a function only of stress, strain, and strain rate, the creep curves were analyzed to yield constant strain-rate, stress strain data. Comparisons between the creep-derived and the directly measured constant strain-rate data show that the data are not exactly equivalent but the...

The experimental and analytical studies indicate that the approximate conventional theory based on limit analysis is quite adequate to predict the static ultimate loads of the underreinforced arches. The dynamic ultimate loads for compression mode loading can also be predicated by approximate theory provided that an appropriate dynamic increase factor (based on the increase in material properties) is used. However, it is not clear whether a satisfactory approximate theory can be developed to...

Almost all the solutions in the literature of viscoelastic stress analysis have dealt with materials which exhibit viscoelastic behavior in shear but are incompressible or elastic in dilatation. This has been influenced in part by the fact that accurate measurement of viscoelastic characteristics in dilatation are difficult to make, and only now are preliminary results becoming available. Since more precise measurement of dilatational response can be expected, certain solutions of viscoelastic...

A theory of thin plates under large deformations is developed that is both kinematically and physically non-linear. It is used to analyze the strength of a single-wall fiberboard element modeled as a composite plate structure. Either an elastic-type instability or a comrpession failure mode is allowed. Results are used to explain how to adjust facing and medium thickness to maximize edgewise compression strength per board weight. (Author)
