Alenia Aeronautica has delivered two laser-welded Airbus A380 centre fuselage panels to Airbus's Nordenham-Hamburg factory for fatigue testing. The test will evaluate laser welded and conventionally ...

Advanced composites are gaining ground in many areas, especially aerospace, automotive and renewable energies, as they are lightweight and help to save energy. What is still missing are accurate and ...

EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) reports that 7FA gas turbines have a rotor life of about 144,000 hours, or 5,000 starts. The primary life-limiting factor is high cycle fatigue cracks ...

This success marks the completion of the 19 months strength research and static fatigue test project on the C919 aircraft composite rear fuselage, one of C919 seven components. C919 composite aircraft ...

Static flexural testing has long been conducted because it is a simple method for evaluating all types of materials. Static flexural testing of composite materials, in particular, was discussed in my ...

It is a known fact that rendering sound with lifelike quality is possible only with extraordinary control of a loudspeaker’s motion. Bose engineers developed an innovative electromagnetic linear motor ...
