1.1 The techniques described in this guide pertain to mixed flowing gas (MFG) tests containing corrosive species that are applied to evaluate devices containing electrical contacts such as slip rings, separable connectors, electromechanical relays or switch contacts. These techniques may be relev...

The design of a photovoltaic module or system intended to provide safe conversion of the sun's radiant energy into useful electricity must take into consideration the possibility of partial shadowing of the module(s) during operation. This test method describes a procedure for verifying that ...

1.1 This test method covers a procedure for determining relative complex permittivity (relative dielectric constant and loss) and relative magnetic permeability of isotropic, reciprocal (non-gyromagnetic) solid materials. If the material is nonmagnetic, it is acceptable to use this pr...

The formability of materials is affected by springback, the difference between the final shape of a part and the shape of the die that formed it. Materials having a large amount of springback create difficulties for the die designer and make die rework much more likely and complicated. This can ...

Tangible augmented reality (TAR) technology opens a novel realm which integrates the computergenerated elements into the real word. Its applications into design education have been explored with a limitation to this entire area. TAR offers an innovative learning space by merging digital learning mat...
