Calibration of optical particle spectrometers using mounted fibres by J. Girdwood, J. Girdwood, J. Girdwood, H. Ballington, C. Stopford, R. Lewis, E. Hesse

“…In this paper, we present a new technique for OPS calibration that involves mounting a static fibre within the instrument sample area, measuring the scattering cross section (SCS), and then comparing the SCS with a calculated value. In addition, we present a case for the use of generalised Lorenz–Mie theory (GLMT) simulations to account for deviations in both minor- and major-axis beam intensity, which has a significant effect on particles that are large compared with the beam waist, in addition to reducing the need for a “top-hat” spatial intensity profile. …”

Monitoring the interaction of production structures by A. E. Miller, A. M. Davydov

“…Observation as the most important stage of the system of monitoring the interaction of production structures is proposed to be carried out through the use of such methods of collecting information and processing results as analysis of freely available materials, expert survey, questionnaire, statistical accounting, calculation method. The results of the evaluation of the interaction of production structures determined within the framework of the corresponding stage of the monitoring system are studied as fundamental in the implementation of regulatory measures by the interacting structures in terms of specifying regulatory and technical and technological requirements for its participants.…”

Mechanical Parameters Effects on Acoustic Absorption at Polymer Foam by Lyes Dib, Samia Bouhedja, Hamza Amrani

“…The aim of this work is to study the quality of acoustic absorption in polyurethane foam and to show the importance of the structural vibration of this foam on the absorption by varying mechanical parameters (Young’s modulus E, Poisson’s coefficient ν, structural damping factor η, and the density ρ1).
