This webinar will be an overview of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and fatigue testing methods and will give examples of non-tire applications (including silicone applications) where these test ...

Mechanical parts are more frequently subjected to cyclic loads than solely static loads. Fatigue issues are commonly observed in turbine blades, aerospace components, locomotive systems, large ...

Static flexural testing has long been conducted because it is a simple method for evaluating all types of materials. Static flexural testing of composite materials, in particular, was discussed in my ...

Advanced composites are gaining ground in many areas, especially aerospace, automotive and renewable energies, as they are lightweight and help to save energy. What is still missing are accurate and ...

In a first for the construction industry, researchers have developed a virtual vibration test rig (VTR) capable of simulating the fatigue life of dozer push arms with unprecedented accuracy. This ...

The all-purpose electro-mechanical testing actuator is suitable for tensile and compression applications and can be integrated into testing devices in various configurations. Testing applications ...
