Want to know how healthy or unhealthy your engine really is? Get yourself a compression tester and find out. Despite how complex many modern vehicles are, you can do many common repair and maintenance ...

The use of the non-destructive testing methods for determining the compressive strength of high performance concrete ensures high quality. Compressive strength test results are mainly used to ...

With every passing day the Mule provides opportunities beyond our original expectations. Since the 467ci engine belongs to HPP editor Tom DeMauro, it is at our beck and call. This affords HPP the ...

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: ...

Results that are obtained from concrete specimens during laying of concrete may not actually represent the concrete strength in the structure. In situ NDT (non-destructive testing) at several ...

In my previous column, I discussed the influence of column buckling of the composite material test specimen on its measured compressive strength (see "Buckling of composite material compression ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have, for the first time, used a "micropillar compression" technique to characterize the micro-scale strength of cement, allowing for the development ...
