Refined plate theory for free vibration analysis of FG nanoplates using the nonlocal continuum plate model

In this article, the free vibration behavior of nanoscale FG rectangular plates is studied within the framework of the refined plate theory (RPT) and small-scale effects are taken into account. Using the nonlocal elasticity theory, the governing equations are derived for single-layered FG nanoplate. The Navier’s method is employed to obtain closed-form solutions for rectangular nanoplates assum...

Optical Fiber Power Meter Calibrations at NIST

The optical fiber power meter (OFPM) is perhaps the most common type of test equipment used to support the development and implementation of optical fiber systems. To address the inherent metrology requirements, NIST has developed and implemented measurement services to help characterize these instruments [1]. These measurement services consist primarily of absolute laser power calibrations usi...

Evaluation of the uncertainties in KAP-meter calibrations

Experiences with a Density Meter

The use of this instrument, utilising galvanic action to indicate the density of massecuite as a guide to crystallization in sugar-boiling vacuum pans and its construction from cheap and readily available materials are enlarged upon. Difficulties experienced in the instrument's successful operation are enumerated and the means of overcoming these are set forth as a guide to present and future o...
