In life, more often than not experience will mean the difference between success and failure. Experience is a great tool to have when designing an efficient air suspension, too, but what do you do if ...

Embedded test compression is a standard technique for dramatically reducing the test data volume and test time on the automatic test equipment. Companies typically aim for 60x to 100x compression for ...

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...

Design automation is the key to the development of very large ICs. Optimizing the connection and layout of millions of gates to efficiently perform complex functions is not a job to which humans are ...

I noted in a 2005 column (see "Current compression test methods" under “Editor's Pick,” at top right) that there are three basic methods of loading a composite material test specimen in compression: ...

For the past five years, the cost of test has prevailed as the hottest topic in test. During this period, automated test equipment (ATE) has made a dramatic move towards low-cost design for test (DFT) ...

The decarbonisation of industrial process heat is one of the key challenges of the energy transition. In many industrial sectors - such as the paper, food and chemical industries - a considerable ...

This video demonstrates the compression test performed on a little pumpkin using an Instron 250 kN universal testing machine. Instron compression testers are used to determine the compressive strength ...

General Electric will find out later this summer how the core of the new engine for the 777X performs in an isolated ground test. The maturation testing on the high pressure compressor rig will ...
