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 ...

In an era driven by technological innovation, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) stand at the heart of our energy solutions, powering everything from smartphones to electric vehicles and renewable energy ...

The most consequential mechanical failures in transport aviation are often the ones which start as hairline cracks hidden inside a load path that “always worked” until it does not. In the UPS MD-11F ...
