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 ...

Last month we acquainted you with a few unique procedures for using conventional tune-up devices—such as a vacuum gauge, timing light and electrical analyzer—for evaluating the efficiency and ...

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...

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 ...

Test compression technology was invented to address the problem of escalating test-pattern size. Compression allows more test vectors to be applied to an IC in a shorter time and with fewer tester ...

For the past five years, the cost of test has prevailed as the hottest topic in test. During this period, automated test equipment (ATE) has made a dramatic move towards low-cost design for test (DFT) ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. When used for material comparisons, notched testing is typically performed using a quasi-isotropic composite laminate, consisting of equal numbers of 0°, 45°, ...
