Troops must have a waist measurement close to or less than half their height or risk being placed in their service's remedial ...

The measurement of aerodynamic forces in shock tunnels is a critical area in high-speed aerodynamics research. In these facilities, short-duration, high-enthalpy flows pose unique challenges that ...

The Air Force tape test is returning to base gyms and fitness testing facilities, two years after the service dropped the abdominal circumference measurement in fitness assessments. The service is ...

Laser power measurement and force metrology are interlinked disciplines dedicated to quantifying the interaction between light and matter. In contemporary research, these fields have evolved from ...

(a) The system consisted of six parts as follows: (1) a force transducer; (2) a BAP; (3) a fixture; (4) a high-speed camera; (5) a pool; and (6) a data acquisition system. (b) Photo of the BAP. (c) ...

Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley published a paper last week on their measurement of the smallest force ever quantified. Researchers applied a known force to a ...
