In my July 2005 column, a new ASTM standard shear test method was introduced 1. At that time, I raised the question, Why do we need another shear test method for composite materials?, with the promise ...

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 ...

The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, Vol. 24, No. 2 (Jun., 1953), pp. 220-238 (19 pages) In this paper two closely related heuristic principles of test construction (to be explained in Section 3), ...

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, ...

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 ...

Laboratory-based design verification testing (DVT) of combination products and medical devices must be performed to demonstrate that the device meets the performance requirements that were set in the ...

Traditional IC pattern-generation methods focus on detectingdefects at gate terminals or at interconnects. Unfortunately, a significantpopulation of defects may occur within an IC's gates, or cells.
