Over the decades, ASTM shear test methods, from lamina-level to multidirectional laminate-level, have continued to evolve as composite applications require higher shear strengths.
This research focuses on the automation of an existing structural health monitoring system of a bridge using the BIMification approach. This process starts with the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of an ...
This study proposes a millimeter-wave radar telemetry method for measuring bridge dynamic deflection, addressing limitations in traditional dynamic strain measurement methods. The method was validated ...
Structural steel can lose significant load-bearing strength under high heat, making properly specified passive fire protection essential. Fire ratings must be supported by standards-based testing that ...
The first test article of a SpaceX Crew Dragon undergoes structural load testing to demonstrate the spacecraft’s ability to withstand the tremendous forces it’s exposed to during space flight. The ...
A recent mockup test found design and manufacuring flaws in this curtain wall system In my first article I referenced the four most-common causes of cladding system failure: inadequate design, ...
