The results of a study about the effect of gravity on a silicon sphere are reported. The study has been carried out in the framework of the realization of the new definition of kilogram. A finite element model of the silicon sphere has been implemented to analyze the elastic deformation due to gravity in order to evaluate its contribution to uncertainty in volume determination.

Abstract
The results of a study about the effect of gravity on a silicon sphere are reported. The study has been carried out in the framework of the realization of the new definition of kilogram. A finite element model of the silicon sphere has been implemented to analyze the elastic deformation due to gravity in order to evaluate its contribution to uncertainty in volume determination.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
