981. Mutual phase-locking of microwave spin torque nano-oscillators
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 9/15/2005
Authors: Shehzaad F. Kaka, Matthew R Pufall, William H Rippard, Thomas J Silva, Stephen E Russek, Jordan A Katine
Abstract: The spin torque effect that occurs in nanometre-scale magnetic multilayer devices can be used to generate steady- state microwave signals in response to a d.c. electrical current. This establishes a new functionality for magneto-electronic structures ...

982. Challenges in Characterizing Sealant
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 9/14/2005
Authors: Christopher C White, Donald Lee Hunston
Abstract: Sealant is one of the very few major consumer products valued primarily for its rheological and adhesive properties. While, these materials may appear to be simple elastic solids, upon further examination, their behavior can be extremely complex. I ...

983. Combining Wind Pressure Databases With Structural Analysis To Predict Peak Responses For Rigid Buildings
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 9/12/2005
Author: Joseph A Main
Abstract: A procedure is described for the design of rigid buildings for wind loading. The procedure, based on the database-assisted design (DAD) approach, uses measured pressure time series in conjunction with influence coefficients obtained by linear, static ...

984. Interpolation Issues In the Estimation of Peak Internal Forces Using Wind Pressure Databases
Topic: Building and Fire Research
Published: 9/12/2005
Author: Joseph A Main
Abstract: A procedure is presented that makes use of measured pressures to predict peak static responses of low buildings, for cases in which no wind tunnel model is available with dimensions matching those of the structure of interest. The proposed approach i ...
