Measurement length

Here, n is the external normal to the boundary of the section, and I is the boundary arc length measured in a positive direction ... 

It is difficult to determine the cross-sectional area of a fiber. Direct observation and measurement of a cross section under a microscope is the most accurate method (15). This is a destmctive test that does not allow subsequent study of fiber mechanical properties, and is slow and tedious. Also, it does not take into account any variations in the cross-sectional area along the fiber length. Measurement of fiber diameters from microscopic observations of longitudinal views is somewhat easier, but the eUipticity of the cross section in certain fibers can lead to serious errors. 

The use of fatigue data and crack length measurements to predict the remaining service life of a stmcture under cyclic loading is possibly the most common application of fracture mechanics for performance prediction. In complex stmctures the growth of cracks is routinely monitored at intervals, and from data about crack growth rates and the applied loadings at that point in the stmcture, a decision is made about whether the stmcmre can continue to operate safely until the next scheduled inspection.

As with spur gears, the tooth size of bevel gears is established by the diametrical pitch. Because the tooth size varies along its length, measurements must be taken... 

X-ray crystallographic studies are available on the ethoxy compound 1858 and on N,N-dimethylcyclopent[c]azepin-3-amine(19).59 The former is a fully conjugated, planar, 14k, non-benzenoid aromatic system, while the latter is virtually planar and, on the basis of bond length measurements, is best represented as the dipolar mesomer 19B.

It is often necessary to convert measurements from one set of units into SI units. For example, we may need to convert a length measured in inches into centimeters. To convert these units, we use the relation 1 in. = 2.54 cm, and in general... 

A similar approach has been suggested in other studies of plant cells [57] and protein precipitates [133]. However, information on the rate of the size distribution shift process cannot be inferred from chain-length measurements made only at the beginning and end of the experiment. To date, there have been no reports on the progressive modification of the size distribution of plant cells subjected to continued exposure to turbulent forces. There are, however, a number of studies which address the break-up of mycelial hyphae in agitated vessels... 

Scientists routineiy study objects whose sizes extend far beyond the narrow range encountered in daiiy iife. Physicists, for exampie, study atomic nuciei measuring 10 m across, and astronomers study our universe, which spans about 10 m. Chemists are most often interested in matter on the smaiier side of this range. Length measurements in the iaboratory vary from meters to subatomic sizes, 10 m. To further simpiify the use of very iarge and very smaii numbers, scientists use prefixes that change the unit sizes by muitipies of 10. For instance.

Mass can be determined by using a balance. If the object has a regular shape, such as a cube or a cylinder, volume can be calculated from length measurements. However, most objects have irregular shapes, and the volume must be determined indirectly. One way to measure the volume of an irregularly shaped item that does not dissolve in or react with water is by water displacement. An item that is entirely submerged in water will displace a volume of water equal to its volume.

In Kadanoff s [130, 131] two-dimensional block-spin model four neighbouring spins are assumed to have identical spins, either up or down, near the critical point. The block of four then acts like a single effective spin. The lattice constant of the effective new lattice is double the original lattice constant. The coherence length measured in units of the new lattice constant will hence be at half of its original measure. Repetition of this procedure allows further reduction in by factors of two, until finally one has an effective theory with = 1. At each step it is convenient to define renormalized block spins such that their magnitude is 1 instead of 4. The energy of such blocked spins is...

It is noteworthy that porosity is remarkably independent of the dimensionality. For a given PS, the volumetric porosity sv (void volume/total volume) in 3D space is equal to the interfacial porosity sA (void area/total area, measured on a representative cross section) in 2D and the linear porosity sL (void interval/total length, measured on a representative traverse line) in ID [96] ... 

Although the atmospheric oxygen bands have been the subject of many investigations, the details of their structure have remained only partially explained. The earlier investigators2 did not have any theory to guide them and it can readily be understood that they often came to contradictory results. In the present paper we have tried to account for the structure of the bands as completely as possible. Our progress has been based on new wave-length measurements which we believe to be more accurate than the previous ones. 

The above rules can be similarly applied to the conversions of volume and length measurements. While the weight and volume measurements are the most commonly used, the measure of length is used in measurements such as the patient s height and body surface area. The liquid and length measures are provided in Tables 2.2 and 2.3.

However, recent in-situ synchrotron radiation WAXD studies of PTT fiber deformation by Wu et al. [76] showed that the PTT crystal 002 -spacing could be stretched to a length corresponding to a fully trans chain. The increase in the c-axis dimension was accompanied by a decrease in the >-axis length, measured from the 010 reflection (Figure 11.14). When the strain was increased above a...
