The National Renewable Energy Labratory NRELL) recently tested thin-film solar modules made by MiaSolé, and verified that their energy conversion efficiency rate hit 15.7percentt, up from 14.3percentt last year.
The British sports-car manufacturer has teamed with Hong Kong-based Hanergy Global Solar Power to test thin, photovoltaic solar cells on its racing cars.
Analytical calculations of mechanics for strain energy release rate, bending strain and phase angle are reported for a new procedure to test thin film mechanical properties.
The goal of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility of testing thin walled components made of aluminum based laminates using ultrasonic waves.
The laser-acoustic technique based on surface acoustic waves is a relatively new surface test method, but its capability for testing thin and hard coatings has already been demonstrated.
As carrier fabrics on which the embroidery was produced, three different types were tested: one thin woven, and one thin and one thick (70 g/m2 and 140 g/m2) nonwoven fabric; all the carrier fabrics were made of polyester.
Curcuminoids in acetone were tested using thin layer chromatography to determine the presence of different curcuminoids.
We have fabricated and tested a thin silicon detector with the specific goal of having a very good thickness uniformity.
In order to exclusively investigate the carbonation reaction, without the effect of internal humidity gradients in the tested specimens, thin discs of mortar were tested.
