Pasta platforms, egg-citing supports, and curious cups! Dr. Rob and the Crew “build” an understanding of the science of Structural Forces, including compression, shear, tension, and torsion! STEM ...

This column will introduce sandwich panel test methods in general. Detailed discussions of the individual test methods will be presented in future columns. Sandwich panels will be defined here as ...

Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...

Measurement of mechanical properties in tension, compression, shear, and flexure; dielectric constant and dissipation factor; thermal behavior under stress; melt rheology.

Behold the beam, an amazing structural element that bends when loaded - but one that must not bend too much. A fallen tree spanning the banks of a river was perhaps the first beam used by primitive ...

Preventing leaks and contaminant ingression keeps a system operating as intended. Preventing leaks and contaminant ingression keeps a system operating as intended. Seal selection is often an imprecise ...
