Perlite, a powdered insulation, is commonly used in large cryogenic storage dewars. When these dewars are thermally cycled, the perlite in the evacuated space between the inner and outer vessels of the dewar experiences a changing mechanical load due to thermal expansion and contraction of the inner

We measured the expansion coefficient of Torlon 4203 (polyamide-imide) as a function of temperature between 4.2 and 295 K. The thermal expansion is lower than that of most polymers. The thermal conductivity k between 0.1 and 5 K was also measured: below 1 K, a quadratic dependence on temperature of
It is widely believed that depalletizing operations in manufacturing and service environments substantially increase the risk of occupationally related low back disorders (LBDs). It has been established that the weight of the box lifted off a pallet can affect the risk of occupationally related LBD
