With every passing day the Mule provides opportunities beyond our original expectations. Since the 467ci engine belongs to HPP editor Tom DeMauro, it is at our beck and call. This affords HPP the ...

A healthy engine is a precision piece of machinery. When its tolerances are within spec, seals are tight, spark is ample, and components are well-oiled, it's reliable and operating with utmost ...

Want to know how healthy or unhealthy your engine really is? Get yourself a compression tester and find out. Despite how complex many modern vehicles are, you can do many common repair and maintenance ...

The use of the non-destructive testing methods for determining the compressive strength of high performance concrete ensures high quality. Compressive strength test results are mainly used to ...

In my previous column, I discussed the influence of column buckling of the composite material test specimen on its measured compressive strength (see "Buckling of composite material compression ...

When choosing a method for monitoring the compressive strength of concrete, it’s important for project managers to consider the impact each technique will have on their schedule. While some testing ...

For the past five years, the cost of test has prevailed as the hottest topic in test. During this period, automated test equipment (ATE) has made a dramatic move towards low-cost design for test (DFT) ...

In my previous column on tensile testing (see "Unidirectional composite axial tensile specimens," under "Editor's Picks," at right), I referenced a commonly expressed concern by Hart-Smith 1 and ...
