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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inside the massive testing hangars across Seattle and Everett, the world's biggest jetliners are turned into mechanical lab rats. Hydraulic actuators yank their wings skyward, compressors simulate ...

Offers specifications for the practical use of each weld toe method, including equipment, weld preparation and operation Provides guidance on inspection, quality control and training, as well as ...

Background: Muscle fatigue has high relevance in human performance yet little research has evaluated how it should be assessed. Objective: To perform a pilot study to identify suitable methods of ...
