The thermophysical properties of natural and artificial samples of marble were investigated to determine how the marble would respond to solar irradiation. The thermal conductivity, specific heat and density were all determined experimentally for the marble samples, and the thermal diffusivity was calculated using these ...
In order to test the protective capabilities of body armor, a clay box is placed behind the armor during testing and the penetration depth into the clay is measured after firing. Procedures for the preparation of the Plastilina clay used to make these boxes require ...
