This column will introduce sandwich panel test methods in general. Detailed discussions of the individual test methods will be presented in future columns. Sandwich panels will be defined here as ...

In my previous column (see “Editor's Picks,” at right), I discussed transverse flexural testing of a unidirectional composite as one method of evaluating the strength of the fiber/matrix interfacial ...

The Washington-based Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), Washington recently completed a potential multimaterial 2D/3D sorting test method, “Evaluation of the 2D/3D Sorting Potential of a Whole ...

Last year, more than 24,000 farmers and gardeners requested soil sample testing through MU Extension. This year, the Soil and Plant Testing Laboratory in Mumford Hall is making it simpler and cheaper ...

Today's methods for BER (bit-error-rate) testing of high-speed serial links such as PCIe and SATA rely on predetermined patterns that don't represent real-world situations. These patterns use a ...

Engineers have long used thermal-cycle testing determine the reliability of PWBs (printed wire boards). Traditionally, engineers have used thermal-cycling ovens, liquid to liquid and fluidized sand, ...

An international research group has proposed a low-cost testing methodology for solar water pumping systems that can reportedly improve water access in developing countries. The novel approach enables ...

There are a multitude of available test procedures and methods for water and wastewater treatment operators. They range from colorimetric, titrimetric, electrometric (meter & probe), turbimetric, ...
