In this digital world, it may be hard for some to believe that there’s still a place for anything manual or physical—especially in the engineering realm. And, while it’s true that today’s technologies ...

Even with simulation, critical failure modes like resonance-induced fatigue and connection looseness can emerge during ...

Structural dynamics testing offers capabilities for quasi-static and dynamic testing of small- and large-scale structural components and systems (e.g., large-scale concrete columns and frames) under ...

Without better integration between computer models and physical testing, organizations will be overly dependent on computer simulations for design, which can lead to costly product recalls or product ...

Inside the massive testing hangars across Seattle and Everett, the world's biggest jetliners are turned into mechanical lab rats. Hydraulic actuators yank their wings skyward, compressors simulate ...

A real-time hybrid fire simulation algorithm is developed and tested to capture the expected behaviour of a steel column within a structural frame, considering the slow thermal expansion of the stiff ...

Enlightened, multidisciplinary engineers may be dismantling the oft-decried wall between design and test, but some of the bricks that made up that wall may have been reassembled into a wall between ...
