For example, given the contracted stiffness matrix Cy, one can use the above equations to calculate the contracted compliance matrix Sy, or vice versa. 

In dealing with engineering problems, we often desire to convert Cyij or Syu to the engineering moduli (Young s moduli, shear moduli and Poisson s ratios). The engineering moduli are easily calculated from the components of the contracted compliance matrix. The formulas are as follows (There are 9 nonzero independent elastic constants for orthotropic materials) ... 

Example 10 Employer ML s contractual authority is limited to reporting on subcontractors contract compliance to owner/developer O and making contract payments. Although it reports on the extent to which the subcontractors are complying with safety and health infractions to O, ML does not exercise any control over safety at the site. 

Example 11 Architect A contracts with owner O to prepare contract drawings and specifications, inspect the work, report to O on contract compliance, and to certify completion of work. A has no authority or means to enforce compliance, no authority to approve/reject work and does not exercise any other authority at the site, although it does call the general contractor s attention to observed hazards noted during its inspections. 

Administration and et rcement cf these laws are by The Wave and Hour Division. The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) administers and enforces three federal contract-based civU ri ts laws that require mostfederal contractors and subcontractors, as well as federally assisted construction contractors, to provide equal employment opportunity.

In addition the customer can check the infrastructure contractor to ensure contract compliance. 

Chromatographic peak areas are calculated automatically by the data system by reference to the response obtained from certain specified, compound-dependent ions. From the peak areas of the target compounds, quantification is achieved by comparison with the internal standards, which are present in known concentration. The laboratory responsible for the analysis must report the target compounds and all tentatively identified (nontarget) compounds. Standard EPA forms must be completed and submitted. A laboratory is said to be in compliance when it has satisfied all aspects of its CLP contract. 

In current industrial practice gas chromatographic analysis (glc) is used for quahty control. The impurities, mainly a small amount of water (by Kad-Fischer) and some organic trace constituents (by glc), are deterrnined quantitatively, and the balance to 100% is taken as the acetone content. Compliance to specified ranges of individual impurities can also be assured by this analysis. The gas chromatographic method is accurately correlated to any other tests specified for the assay of acetone in the product. Contract specification tests are performed on product to be shipped. Typical wet methods for the deterrnination of acetone are acidimetry (49), titration of the Hberated hydrochloric acid after treating the acetone with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and iodimetry (50), titrating the excess of iodine after treating the acetone with iodine and base (iodoform reaction). 

Will the contract address compliance with regulations ... 

The responsibility for obtaining permits, required filings, and rights to review permits should be noted in the contract. Both parties are expected to be in compliance with all laws and permits applicable to the tolling operation.

Key documents that are developed during the planning stages can be used to focus and direct the compliance strategy, to outline the health and safety program/plan requirements, and to establish work controls. These documents are usually developed after contract award and before mobilization. 

Contracts with the federal government require compliance with Executive Order Nos. 11625 and 12138 to utilize small and small disadvantaged businesses. The contractor/subcontractor must complete a copy of the representations and certifications providing self-certification of business classification under existing federal definitions. The representations and certifications also provide tax identification information required by the Internal Revenue Service. The original of the representation and certification form should be sent to regional purchasing and a copy included in the project file. 

ISO 9000 is not a statutory requirement and neither is certification, hence certification is voluntary. However, suppliers may be under pressure to obtain registration to ISO 9001, ISO 9002, or ISO 9003 in order to tender for contracts. Within the ISO 9000 certification scheme, the certification industry is regulated by accreditation bodies. An International Accreditation Forum (lAF) attempts to harmonize accreditation practices world-wide through ISO Guide 61. The accreditation bodies authorize certification bodies to conduct certification to prescribed standards - a process that is called accreditation. The accreditation body performs witness audits and desk audits of the certification body to ensure compliance with the conditions of accreditation. 

While procedures should define the quality records that are to be produced, these are the records that will be produced if these procedures are used. On particular contracts only those procedures that are relevant will be applied and therefore the records to be produced will vary from contract to contract. Special conditions in the contract may make it necessary for additional quality records. Records represent the objective evidence with which you are going to demonstrate compliance with the contractual requirements. It would therefore be expedient, although not essential, to list all the records that will be produced and where they will be located. The list does not need to detail every specific record, providing it identifies types of records and all new records to be produced. 

Do ensure that those determining compliance with contracts have access to current versions of the contract. 

The impact of this requirement depends upon what constitutes the specified requirements. The standard does not require you to demonstrate conformance with every requirement of ISO 9001. However, if your customer has invoked ISO 9001 in the contract, this clause requires that you maintain sufficient records to demonstrate compliance. As stated elsewhere in this book, there is no definition clarifying what specified requirements are. If specified requirements are a//the requirements that you have specified in your quality system, your plans, procedures, specifications, etc., this requirement may well be viewed as the most onerous in the standard. A pragmatic approach to take is to declare in your quality manual that the specified requirements are specified customer requirements . 

All audits should be conducted against a standard for the performance being measured. Examinations without such a standard are surveys, not audits. Audits can also be conducted against contracts, project plans, specifications - in fact any document with which the organization has declared it will comply. The standard now requires system audits to be conducted to verify compliance with ISO/TS 16949 and any other system requirements. 

Contracted notation is a rearrangement of terms such that the number of indices is reduced although their range increases. For second-order tensors, the number of indices is reduced from 2 to 1 and the range increased from 3 to 9. The stresses and strains, for example, are contracted as in Table A-1. Similarly, the fourth-order tensors for stiffnesses and compliances in Equations (A.42) and (A.43) have 2 instead of 4 free indices with a new range of 9. The number of components remains 81 (3 = 9 ). 

Plastic products are often constrained from freely expanding or contracting by rigidly attaching them to another structure made of a material (plastic, metal, etc.) with a lower coefficient of linear thermal expansion. When such composite structures are heated, the plastic component is placed in a state of compression and may buckle, etc. When such composite structures are cooled, the plastic component is placed in a state of tension, which may cause the material to yield or crack. The precise level of stress in the plastic depends on the relative compliance of the component to which it is attached, and on assembly stress. 

Particularly if the industry is government regulated (i.e., pharmaceuticals), but also if the supply contract with the customer stipulates numerical specification limits for a variety of quality indieators, the compliance question is legal in nature (rules are set for the method, the number of samples and repeat determinations) the analyst can then only improve precision by honing his/her skills,...
