By generating short stress pulses with thick transducers, the pulse-echo method for determining sound velocities and acoustic attenuation can be applied to thin specimens. The stress pulses enter a specimen where one pulse is reflected several times before a succeeding pulse enters the specimen.
Transmission measurement of neutrons by filter materials for low energy neutrons is important for the study of structure and dynamics of condensed matter. Since only thermal neutrons are useful for such experiments, filter materials that transmit thermal neutrons while attenuating fast neutrons and gamma rays are of considerable interest.
Calibrated RF signal generator, precision RF attenuator, and a wave analyzer are used to determine the spectral noise characteristics in the baseband of receiver as a function of RF input power.
The size of aluminum oxide particles produced by small rocket motors is determined by tank collection and spectrophotometry. The size of the particulate determines loss in thrust due to particle lag, particulate radiant heat transfer, acoustic attenuation and impingement and rocket plume structure and properties.
Relationship between atmospheric attenuation and the ground temperature and humidity provides a reference from which changes in temperature and humidity will produce a corresponding atmospheric loss figure. Computer program computes atmospheric loss due to water content, given the measured loss and ground temperature and humidity.
