In materials science, thermal testing refers to the process of subjecting materials to analysis through thermal control in order to collect data on a wide range of properties. Generally, thermal ...

Due to their light weight and optimal mechanical properties, modern composite materials, such as carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP), are increasingly used in automotive, wind energy and ...

Increasingly complex and heterogeneous architectures, coupled with the adoption of high-performance materials, are making it much more difficult to identify and test for thermal issues in advanced ...

Computerized systems are those which comprise the components shown in Figure 1.1, namely, a computer system and a controlled function which is operating within its specified working environment. The ...

NATICK, Mass. -- Thanks to a U.S. Navy Small Business Innovation Research, or SBIR, contract, Natick's Thermal Test Facility has a new, one-of-a-kind, articulating manikin to conduct flame and thermal ...

Figure 1. Ultrasonic testing using pulse echo and through-transmission methods. Pulse echo (left and center) uses a transducer that sends and receives ultrasound energy, producing both A- and B-scan ...
