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 ...
DarkAero replaced butt joints in the center wing box assembly to increase the flight test envelope in high-speed gust load conditions for its DarkAero 1 prototype composite aircraft.
In 1885, an English scientist, Lord Rayleigh, had hypothetically shown 3 that waves could be propagated over the plane boundary between a vacuum (or an adequately rarefied medium, air for example), ...
Durability of components under dynamic load can be increased by understanding the origin of the stress and strain distribution. While numerical simulations based on finite element (FE) models can help ...
A 'smart skin' employs the unique fluorescent characteristics of carbon nanotubes to quickly assess strain in materials. The method is intended for aircraft, spacecraft and critical infrastructures in ...
The miniature-format strain sensors DST20 complement the Baumer portfolio by adding a compact and cost- efficient system for measuring large forces above 10,000 N even in confined spaces. With their ...
Click here to read the print version. In 1856, Lord Kelvin observed that metallic conductors subjected to mechanical strain exhibit a change in their electrical resistance. Since that time engineers ...
Researchers have developed a novel wearable strain sensor based on the modulation of optical transmittance of a carbon nanotube (CNT)-embedded elastomer. The sensor is capable of sensitive, stable, ...
Most strain gage measurements are plagued with offset drift and noise. This app note shows how to use an ac signal to excite the bridge, which produces a dc output proportional to the strain. To view ...
