Realistic conceptual design loads in the early phase of the overall aircraft design for the mass estimation of fuselage and wing play an important role in the overall aircraft assessment for new ...

Thermal effects can increase or decrease bolt load and clamping capability. Measuring the angle of nut rotation can sometimes be used to gage preload. Modeling the ...

Several significant updates have been added to the new edition of Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, Standards ASCE/SEI 7-16. The recently released ...

Load-board design is a critical part of any project that uses ATE to test integrated circuits. Load boards provide the interface between the ATE and the device under test (DUT). A properly designed ...

Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...
