Facing both increasing competitive pressures and rising device complexity, integrated circuit (IC) companies are looking for more effective strategies able to speed delivery to market of higher ...

When first introduced to mechanical testing of composite materials, one can be confused, even overwhelmed, by the number of available test standards. One reason for this large variety of tests is the ...

Beyond the obvious lightweighting advantages, the thing that makes composites so appealing to the aerospace market is the variability that permits engineers to tailor laminates to a wide range of ...

This PhD studentship will develop and validate performance-based circular design methods for reusable steel-timber floor systems, combining large-scale testing and advanced modelling to enable ...

Inside the massive testing hangars across Seattle and Everett, the world's biggest jetliners are turned into mechanical lab rats. Hydraulic actuators yank their wings skyward, compressors simulate ...

Traditional IC pattern-generation methods focus on detectingdefects at gate terminals or at interconnects. Unfortunately, a significantpopulation of defects may occur within an IC's gates, or cells.
