The basic principles underlying the various testing methods are used to illustrate how their interrelationships lead to validated findings and solving problems.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis book covers the basic accepted standard industry mechanical tests supplemented by ultrasonic methods applied to examples of commercial and laboratory handsheet sample sets, presenting the testing technique, data and analysis.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFocus is concentrated on the tests that are most frequently required, such as tensile and compression strengths, stiffness for papers and corrugated board, and relevant water absorption characteristics. It is aimed at the interested paper industry technologist or researcher at an introductory level who wishes to establish a fundamental understanding of what the physical testing results mean, how to avoid common pitfalls and most importantly, how to interpret the results from a paper physics point-of-view.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/rbi.gatech.edu\/roman-popil\u0022\u003ERead more about Dr. Popil\u0026#39;s work here\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Book reflects RBI-affiliated research scientist\u0027s decades of experience"}],"uid":"28159","created_gmt":"2018-01-09 18:34:28","changed_gmt":"2018-01-09 18:35:00","author":"Kelly Smith","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2018-01-09T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2018-01-09T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"411721":{"id":"411721","type":"image","title":"Roman Popil","body":null,"created":"1449254211","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 18:36:51","changed":"1475895142","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:52:22","alt":"Roman Popil","file":{"fid":"202319","name":"131209_popil.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/131209_popil_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/131209_popil_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":8024,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/131209_popil_0.jpg?itok=466w_itW"}}},"media_ids":["411721"],"groups":[{"id":"372221","name":"Renewable Bioproducts Institute (RBI)"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"}],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39491","name":"Renewable Bioproducts"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EKelly B Smith, 404.894.5301\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["kelly.smith@gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
