By the lamination process evaluated, 60 percent of total 108 volume ended as kiln-dry, end-trimmed, sized, salable 2 by 4's-approximately 50 percent more than that achieved by conventional bandsawing of matched lop. Moreover, modulus of elasticity of the laminated 2 by 4's (adjusted to 12 percent moisture content) averaged 1,950,000 psi compared to 1,790,000 for the sawn 2 by 4's. Allowable fib...

This paper presents ongoing work on an advanced flexible circuit interconnect substrate featuring a 24 x 24 (576 element) pad grid array pattern at 300 micron pitch. This eight metal layer circuit is being developed as a highdensity, pixel-level interconnection substrate for a two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound imaging transducer MEMS device. The flexible circuit substrate is constructed using lam...

volatile compounds generated from two types of polymeric laminated films, irradiated by gamma radiation at 8, 10 and 15 kgy, were investigated. activated carbon was used as a dry food simulant to trace the migrating compounds by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (gc/ms). the resulting data showed that the polyethylene terephthalate (pet)/polyethylene terephthalate (pet)/linear low density po...

in this study, the free vibration of partially fluid-filled laminated composite circular cylindrical shell with arbitrary boundary conditions has been investigated by using rayleigh-ritz method. the analysis has been carried out with strain-displacement relations based on love’s thin shell theory and the contained fluid is assumed irrotational, incompressible and inviscid. after determining the...

Large solar panels were constructed from polymer solar cell modules prepared using full roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacture based on the previously published ProcessOne. The individual flexible polymer solar modules comprising multiple serially connected single cell stripes were joined electrically and laminated between a 4 mm tempered glass window and black Tetlar foil using two sheets of 0.5 mm th...

A systematic study of the across scale coupling phenomenology in EM scattering problems is addressed using the theory of multiresolution decomposition and orthogonal wavelets. By projecting an integral equation formulation of the scattering problem onto a set of subspaces that constitutes a multiresolution decomposition of L 2 (R), one can derive two coupled formulations. The rst governs the ma...

We demonstrate the possibility of selectively imaging the features of a barely visible impact damage in a laminated composite plate by using an air-coupled time reversal mirror. The mirror consists of a number of piezoelectric transducers affixed to wedges of power law profiles, which act as unconventional matching layers. The transducers are enclosed in a hollow reverberant cavity with an open...

High-resolution mesoscale and microscale simulations of wave breaking and laminated structures induced by mountain waves in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) are presented for two Intensive Observational Periods (IOPs) of the Terrain-induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX). To resolve multi-scale nonlinear processes in the UTLS, vertical nesting and refined vertical gridding have bee...

The withdrawal resistance of screws in heat-treated and reinforced laminated veneer lumber (RLVL) was determined in the radial, tangential, and transverse directions. For this reason, laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and RLVL with carbon fibers were produced from heattreated oak (Quercus petraea (Liebl.)) veneers using phenol formaldehyde as the adhesive. Wood samples were heat-treated at 140, 170...
