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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Civil/Structural engineers design and maintain buildings, bridges, and other structures constructed from various materials (concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and reinforced plastics). They use modern ...
