Mechanical Properties of Si 02 and Si 3 N 4 Coatings: A BAM/NIST Cooperative Project

September 24, 1998
Author(s)
U Beck, Douglas T. Smith, G Reiners, S J. Dapkunas
Mechanical properties, i.e., hardness and elastic modulus, of amorphous Si 02 and Si 3N^4^ PE-CVD coatings have been studied for two coating thicknesses (0.1 υm and 1.0 υm) and two substrate materials (fused silica, i.e., Herasil, and borosilicate glass, i

Interface Adhesion of E-Glass Fibers in Model Polyisocyanurate Networks

September 23, 1998
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Gale A. Holmes, R C. Peterson
Recent work examining the nature of the failure process of glass/epoxy specimens in the single fiber fragmentation test showed that the matrix exhibited pronounced non-linear viscoelastic behavior during the test, and that the interfacial shear strength

Electroacoustic Analysis in Processing of Advanced Ceramics

September 1, 1998
Author(s)
Vincent A. Hackley, U Paik
Finely dispersed systems such as emulsions and colloidal suspensions are recognized as playing a critical role in many important industrial processes. Many of these systems are quite concentrated, and significant needs exist to develop measurement

Multiple Small-Angle Neutron Scattering

September 1, 1998
Author(s)
Gabrielle G. Long, Susan Krueger, Andrew J. Allen
Over the past decade, a multiple small-angle neutron scattering (MSANS) formalism has been developed to enable researchers to derive microstructural parameters from multiply-scattered small-angle neutron data. The MSANS formalism is particularly useful in

Diffraction Anomalous Fine Structure Study of Strained GA 1-x In x As on GaAs(001)

August 20, 1998
Author(s)
Joseph C. Woicik, J O. Cross, Charles E. Bouldin, Bruce D. Ravel, J G. Pellegrino, B W. Steiner, S G. Bompadre, L B. Sorensen, K E. Miyano, J P. Kirkland
Diffraction anomalous fine-structure measurements performed at both the Ga and As K edges have determined the Ga-As bond length to be 2.442 ± 0.005 {Angstrom} in a buried, 213 {Angstrom} thick Ga^0.78^In 0.22As layer grown coherently on GaAs(001). This

Coolant Flow in Surface Grinding with Non-Porous Wheels

August 1, 1998
Author(s)
P Hryniewicz, A Z. Szeri, S Jahanmir
A parameter that is often used in the assessment of cooling efficiency in grinding is the amount of fluid that flows through the grinding zone. This paper shows that when grinding with wheels possessing no bulk porosity, only a portion of the flow through

Hardness Testing of Ceramics

August 1, 1998
Author(s)
George D. Quinn
An overview of hardness testing of ceramics is presented. Conventional test methods are discussed, particularly with respect to major sources of experimental error and standardization. Two NIST Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) are highlighted. Emerging

Preparation and Characterization of Polymer/Dendrimer Blends Progress Report 2/24/97

June 1, 1998
Author(s)
Eric J. Amis, Barry J. Bauer, F I. Groehn, T J. Prosa, Da-Wei Liu, K A. Barnes, C L. Jackson, B D. Viers, Alamgir Karim, Jack F. Douglas
Dendrimer, dendrigraft, and hyperbranched solutions, blends, and interpenetrating polymer networks are characterized by small neutron and x-ray scattering, reflectivity, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.

Indentation of Ceramics with Spheres: A Century After Hertz

May 4, 1998
Author(s)
Brian R. Lawn
In this article we review the nature and mechanics of damage induced in ceramics by spherical indenters, from the classical studies of Hertz over a century ago to the present day. Basic descriptions of continuum elastic and elastic-plastic contact stress

Characterization of Fracture Origins in Advanced Ceramic Materials

May 1, 1998
Author(s)
George D. Quinn, J Swab, E F. Begley
This NIST web site will complement ASTM standard C1322-96, Standard Practice for Fractography and Characterization of Fracture Origins in Advanced Ceramics. The objectives of the web site are to prove a thumbnail sketch of the standard, promote its usage

Physical Aging Behavior in Amorphous Pen Film as Measured by Creep

May 1, 1998
Author(s)
M L. Cerrada, G B. McKenna, J M. O'Reilly, J E. Greene, J R. Gillmor
Characterization of the viscoelastic and aging responses of poly [ethylene naphthalate] [PEN] is of increasing interest as this material begins to see greater use in commercial applications. In typical aging experiments, one quenches the glass transition

Ultrasonic Characterization in Advanced Processing of Ceramic Powders

May 1, 1998
Author(s)
Vincent A. Hackley
A world wide web (www) site focussing on NIST efforts in ultrasonic applications development for ceramic processing in fluid-based systems. This site contains information related to facilities, instrumentation, research, and ultrasonic techniques in

Anisotropic Microstructure of Plasma-Sprayed Deposits

April 1, 1998
Author(s)
J Ilavsky, Gabrielle G. Long, Andrew J. Allen, L Leblanc, M Prystay, C Moreau, Alan H. Band
The microstructure of plasma-sprayed deposits [PSD] is dominated by two void systems-interlamellar pores and intralamellar cracks - each with a different anisotropy. Varying anisotropies and crack-to-pore ratios within PSDs are responsible for the

Author(s)
R G. Munro, Stephen W. Freiman, T L. Baker
Fracture toughness data, as represented by the critical stress intensity factor, K Ic, and the fracture energy, γ, have been compiled from publicly accessible sources for a wide range of brittle materials with an emphasis on structural ceramics and closely

Dynamic and Static Grain Growth During the Superplastic Deformation of 3Y-TZP

March 1, 1998
Author(s)
J Seidensticker, M J. Mayo
While phenomenological theories of superplasticity have often suffered from the fact that a single phenomenological law is not universally applicable to all superplastic systems, it is shown that a universal dynamic grain growth law does apply. The law is
