Several years ago, I started poking around to fix a challenge all field engineers deal with when generating materials field testing data: Accurately collecting data from the field without knowing ...

Through innovations in physics, chemistry, and technology, non-destructive testing (NDT) allows material analysis without damaging samples. This is a relatively recent technique, where previously the ...

Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...

Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...

Under specific conditions, hydrogen can diffuse in metal, leaving a long-term effect on the material’s properties. Close investigation of the behavior of materials and components in hydrogen-rich ...
