Mechanical loads frequently attach the heat sink to the printed circuit board (PCB) and establish the interface between the heat sink and the component. This document presents guidelines for the ...

High yield steel embodies exceptional performance under extreme structural loads. Tension, compression, impacts, abrasion and vibration are usual loads applied upon heavy industry components when in ...

An international research team has investigated the impact of wind-induced vibrations on solar modules and has found that wind-induced stress can have significant mechanical repercussions on PV arrays ...

NASA and Space Launch System (SLS) Core Stage prime contractor Boeing are in the middle of a busy period of testing structural test articles (STA) at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, ...

Loads for most FEA problems are just good guesses. Here's how to stop relying on guessing. Finite-element analysis (FEA) simulates how models react to a range of environments. You define the ...

Here’s a little engineering quiz for you: If an app needs to move a 500 kN axial load along a 1,500 mm stroke, is it best to use a roller screw or ball screw? If you instinctively said roller screw, ...

Materials testing tests the accuracy and load capacity of materials in different environmental conditions. Materials testing is not only performed at research institutes, it also helps companies to ...
