Note:

  • The contents of ERC/NSM papers are not available on our website. Unfortunately, we no longer distribute copies of our technical papers free of charge. As we receive large number of requests, the time and costs related to mailing our papers have become considerable.
  • We recommend that you try to obtain our nonproprietary publications from your local library. If you have urgent need for one of our publications, please send us your complete mailing address and a check to cover payment. Our charge is $7.50 per paper, which covers our copying and mailing costs. Checks should be made out to “ERC/NSM - The Ohio State University” and mailed to the attention of
    Dr. Taylan Altan
    Professor and Director, ERC/NSM
