Compression testing is a way to determine engine health. We use differential compression testing in aviation because it is a more reliable method of testing engine compression than direct compression ...

Micropillar compression testing [1] is fast emerging as a viable alternative to nanoindentation, for the measurement of mechanical properties and deformation behavior of small volumes and thin films.

The materials, manufacturing processes, market and energy trends driving use of carbon fiber composites in global hydrogen storage applications for fuel cell-powered trucks, buses, trains and ...

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 ...

The NRC offers stationary compression and tension test services in a rail vehicle squeeze and tension compression facility. Available to industry to test and assess the structural integrity of rail ...
