Compression: An automotive term used by everybody, forever. Let's get into some detail and maybe develop a better understanding. Pressure, and more pressure: It's a must-have to produce power within ...

Using 3-D printers for the microrange, researchers have succeeded in creating a metamaterial from cubic building blocks that responds to compression forces by a rotation. Usually, this can only be ...

This article examines multi-tip tool technology for pharmaceutical tablet compression and the process control and validation issues that must be carefully evaluated to assess the potential for success ...

This video shows the testing of radial compression force of stents. Zwick offers a wide range of testing machines for the medical industry. Application areas include medical packaging, therapy systems ...

• Force vectors don’t want to remain in line with the object being pushed. • Load-cell specifications usually do not call out accuracy, but rather linearity, repeatability, and hysteresis. • Accuracy ...

Tableting instruments (i.e., compaction simulators) that simulate high-speed presses can be used in a quality-by-design (QbD) approach to perform in-depth material characterization and direct scale-up ...

People tend to spend, on average, several hours a day sitting on couches, chairs, and car seats, as well as considerable time on mattresses every night. Polyurethane foam plays a major role in ...
