Now available from HBM is the new U3 load cell, specifically designed for tensile and compressive forces. Designed to address the problem of lateral forces, which if great enough, can damage or even ...

Traditional tablet presses do not measure tablets' tensile strength, yet this characteristic strongly influences tablet quality. The author describes a compression technique that accounts for tensile ...

The U93 from HBM is a compact force transducer for tensile and compressive forces with nominal (rated) forces of 1 kN, 2 kN, 5 kN, 10 kN, 20kN, and 50kN. Typical applications of the U93 force ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

The folding of the brain, which generates tensile and compressive forces, can alter the stiffness of the white matter, ...

The importance of reliability and quality of medical devices cannot be over-estimated, as the lives, safety, and well-being of patients are at great risk and the industry is closely regulated.

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 ...

How a person’s brain grows and makes connections can determine intelligence as well as susceptibility to disorders such as epilepsy and mental illness. However, a lot of questions remain about how the ...

Can the robustness and reliability of your packaging be easily determined? Can your customers be provided with indisputable evidence of production quality? Is it possible to ensure that your packaging ...
