FD-TD calculation with composite materials. Application to C160 aircraft measurements [PDF]
In a frequency domain in which a material thickness is smaller than the skin depth, a formalism based on the sheet impedance concept was developed and introduced in the FD-TD (finite difference-time domain) code ALICE.

Correlating fissure occurrence to rice quality for various drying and tempering treatments [PDF]
When a rice kernel fissures, it can break in subsequent food processing operations and lose its commercial value. Head rice yield (HRY) is a measure of the percent of kernels that remain whole (at least three-fourths of original length) after rice has ...

An assessment of tailoring of lightning protection design requirements for a composite wing structure on a metallic aircraft [PDF]
The Navy A-6E aircraft is presently being modified with a new wing which uses graphite/epoxy structures and substructures around a titanium load-bearing structure. The ability of composites to conduct electricity is less than that of aluminum.

Finite difference time domain implementation of surface impedance boundary conditions [PDF]
Surface impedance boundary conditions are employed to reduce the solution volume during the analysis of scattering from lossy dielectric objects. In a finite difference solution, they also can be utilized to avoid using small cells, made necessary by ...
