Isotropic random fracture model for metal hydride powder
03 Oct 2011 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Kyle Christopher Smith, Timothy S Fisher
Metal hydrides can be used to store hydrogen on-board fuel cell vehicles, but the process of fracture which such materials undergo when exposed to hydrogen makes them poor conductors of the heat generated during hydriding. This fracture process creates particles having irregular faceted shapes that …

The Thermal Measurements Database
13 Sep 2011 | Databases | Contributor(s): Timothy S Fisher, Ann Christine Catlin
Experimental data for thermal materials is obtained using various test methods under a set of conditions. A measurement type can be tested using many different methods, and a single method can be used to obtain many measurements. The quality of the documentation describing methods and conditions …

Thermal Transport Across Interfaces
19 Aug 2011 | Courses | Contributor(s): Timothy S Fisher
These lectures provide a theoretical development of the transport of
thermal energy by conduction in nanomaterials, in which material
interfaces typically dominate transport. The physical nature of energy
transport by two carriers: electrons and phonons--will be explored.
