Researchers at the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo have shown that for amorphous materials, cyclic material fatigue can begin to fracture at the same level of stress as fractures due to constant loading, and using computer simulations, the team could distinguish four distinct failure modes.
Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, created the next generation of transducers that use ultrasonic guided wave technology to detect anomalies in pipes, enabling users to prevent leaks before they start.
Two new research robots at the Institute of Polymer Technology at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, working autonomously and synchronously, are intended to optimize the testing technology for multifunctional high-performance materials.
Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, has received a $14.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration to launch a “Center of Excellence” focused on applying innovative approaches to enhancing manufacturing of materials with greater strength and longer lifecycles.
Agile Analog, an analog IP company based in the U.K., recently completed a set of key analog IP to assist with IoT design: basic analog building blocks to enable faster IoT design without requiring a custom in-house design.
