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 ...

A Standard Test Method is a conclusive procedure that yields a test result. So as to achieve accurate and relevant test results, a standard test method is definite, unambiguous, and experimentally ...

Quantitative fit testing is the preferred testing method. The ambient aerosol condensation nuclei counting (CNC) method, using a Portacount® Plus instrument, has been selected as the quantitative fit ...

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, ...

When first introduced to mechanical testing of composite materials, one can be confused, even overwhelmed, by the number of available test standards. One reason for this large variety of tests is the ...

The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) has updated a test method evaluating the performance and durability of the integration of a fenestration product with a building envelope. AAMA ...

We introduce in this work the Interval Testing Procedure (ITP), a novel inferential technique for functional data. The procedure can be used to test different functional hypotheses, e.g., ...

SiC (silicon carbide) has established itself as an important material in the semiconductor market because it has many outstanding properties. In comparison with silicon, SiC offers a higher electrical ...
