(PUBLISHED REPORT) [Published : Oct 09, 2018]
(PUBLISHED REPORT) [Published : Oct 09, 2018]
If a terrorist event or natural disaster causes a wide area of land to be contaminated with chemical, biological, or radiological particulates, emergency responders need a rapid way to determine where to sample and decontaminate prior to clearing the area. A comprehensive stormwa...
The Feasibility of Developing a Physical Model Using Rapid Manufacturing Technologies by Referencing Remotely Sensed Data to Simulate Outdoor Environments
(PUBLISHED REPORT) [Published : Nov 07, 2018]
(PUBLISHED REPORT) [Published : Nov 07, 2018]
This report was prepared to evaluate the feasibility of using rapid manufacturing technologies (i.e., computer numerical controlled (CNC) milling, printing) to develop three-dimensional (3D) physical models as surrogates for outdoor field experiments. These models have the potent...
