Defects can occur naturally during composite fabrication, and damage can be induced by impacts in service, but these tend to be relatively uncontrolled events. It was desired to induce an easily ...

The purpose of your engine is to compress fuel and air and then ignite it, creating heat energy that then makes mechanical motion. If your engine can't compress the air and fuel properly, the engine ...

Until the early 1970s, there was relatively little interest in measuring the compressive properties of composite materials. For design purposes, it was generally assumed that the compressive strength ...

This here's what we call last-minute filler. At least we're good at it, and have had plenty of practice lately. Most recently, the engine for our long-lost '77 Nova project finally came back from the ...

Compression testing is used to determine how a product or material reacts when it is compressed, squashed, crushed or flattened by measuring fundamental parameters that determine the specimen behavior ...

You might talk about it often, but do you really know what compression is all about? Every engine has to make it and those that don't are hurtin' for sure. But, here's the confusing part, for this ...

The Compression Testing Machine is a fully digital testing system that offers high precision control and accuracy. It allows automated computer control of test techniques to provide ease of operation.

The size of designs continues to grow and IC manufacturers are pushing for higher test quality, especially in mission-critical applications such as transportation and medicine. More advanced nodes ...

Luton, Bedfordshire, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Market Overview Digital compression testing machines are used to determine the compressive strength of materials such as concrete, metals, ...

The "Mods for 2V Mods" series in our sister publication, Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords, took a hard look at the effect of changes in compression ratio on a two-valve 4.6L GT motor. The idea behind the ...
