It can be seen that in the wet tests the PDV signal was lost earlier in the penetration compared to dry tests, as a result of ejecta obscuring the path of the laser light source. Comparison of the dry and wet time histories reveals that contrary to the lower velocity tests, resistance ...
Group Velocity Dispersion refers to the phenomenon where the velocity of light in a dispersive medium is dependent on its wavelength, resulting in a distortion of femtosecond transient absorption spectra when using a polychromatic probe pulse. It causes a shift in the time zero of a reaction toward...

The buildings are all faced in acid-washed concrete, steel and glass in dramatic contrast to the scheme’s red-brick surroundings and adding sparkle, light and life to the city’s business district. The architectural style is bold in its contemporary simplicity and has created a stylish landmar...
This article deals with the dynamic response of thin circular clamped GLARE (GLAss REinforced) fiber-metal laminates subjected to low-velocity impact by a lateral hemispherical impactor, striking at the center with constant kinetic energy. The laminates have equal total thickness and consist of GLARE...
Cold expansion is a mechanical method for creating residual stresses. This method is a proven technique to increase the fatigue life, and checking the residual stress on it, is of particular importance. A cold expansion process is widely used to generate
aRefraction takes place when a clear or opaque object, such as a piece of glass or a bag of water, alters the course and velocity of light. The rays of light, which normally travel in a straight line, bend. This effect is responsible for a number of optical illusions, such as mirages...
Curve 2 for a light particle intersects curve 1 and the point of intersection defines the injection energy. Curve 3 for a heavy particle runs below curve 1 everywhere, i.e., the energy losses are smaller than the gains everywhere in the accleration process. (7.10)−(dEdt)i,max≃2·...
The PUNDIT apparatus used in the UK has been designed particularly for field testing being light, portable and simple to use. It can be operated independently of the mains power supply when used in the field and directly from the AC mains supply for laboratory use. The British Standards Instit...
