Finding out if the food and water we consume are safe from toxic and carcinogenic metals can now be much faster and simpler. Researchers at the University Johannesburg developed an efficient and more ...
Sheet metal forming operations can vary greatly in their processes. From simple bending to stretching to deep drawing of complex parts, sheet metal forming operations may take many forms. Image Credit ...
When metallic components in airplanes, bridges, and other structures crack, the results are often catastrophic. But Johns Hopkins University researchers have found a way to reliably predict the ...
A material’s hardness relates to its mechanical resistance when subjected to mechanical indentation by another harder body. Diamond is considered the hardest natural material and is typically used for ...
New method detects magnetic signals in metal that make it possible to predict fractures before they occur and prevent critical failures.
Mechanical fasteners have been used to join wood and metal plates for hundreds of years. Because mechanical fastening of composite material plates is a much more recent development, most of the ...
Researchers have identified how common testing errors lead to unreliable data, providing a new blueprint for building the ultra-safe infrastructure needed for a hydrogen-powered world. (Nanowerk News) ...
In my July 2005 column, a new ASTM standard shear test method was introduced 1. At that time, I raised the question, Why do we need another shear test method for composite materials?, with the promise ...
