Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy, otherwise known as Hurricane Sandy, made landfall just south of Atlantic City, N.J., in late October 2012. The storm caused billions of dollars in damages and left ...

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 ...

On June 24, 2020, engineers completed the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket’s structural testing campaign for the Artemis lunar missions by testing the liquid oxygen structural test article to find its ...

Structural health monitoring (SHM), essentially, involves a nondestructive testing (NDT) system that integrates sensors into a structure to enable continuous or periodic inspection. The resulting data ...

As chipmakers move towards finer geometries, IC designs are obviously becoming more complex and expensive. Given the enormous risks involved, chipmakers must ensure the quality of the parts before ...

The Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering at the University at Buffalo has an extensive earthquake simulation, structural testing and geotechnical engineering testing facility.

The Large Bearing Testing Machine has been developed and primarily used for commercial testing of large bearings. It is capable of applying 1,600 kips (7,117 kN) vertical load, and lateral ...

With machines running in some of the harshest environments in the world, heavy equipment is arguably the most demanding type of vehicle to design from the perspectives of structural integrity and ...

During standardized chip fabrication, integrate circuit (IC) testing is conducted repeatedly to inspect the chips once they are manufactured. IC testing begins with wafer penetration before etched ...
