HELSINKI — China appears to have conducted structural verification tests on its new Long March 10A rocket, according to a coded update. The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) posted an ...

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 University of Texas at San Antonio’s $9.95-million Large-Scale Testing Laboratory will provide space for students and researchers in the Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering to test the ...

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 ...

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 ...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) describes the new Space Launch System—which will propel the agency’s Orion spacecraft to deep-space destinations—as being designed to be ...

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 ...
