Development of a new automated test method to measure the wax appearance temperature (WAT) of opaque crude oils with 1.0° C. precision used a modified version of American Society of Testing and ...

Test point selection and fault diagnosis remain critical challenges in the analysis and maintenance of analog systems. As these systems operate with continuous-valued signals and are susceptible to ...

Recent and continuing trends in the semiconductor industry pose challenges to IC test-data volumes, test application times, and test costs. The industry has thus far succeeded in containing test costs ...

Many ASTM standards encompass the determination of the flash point of petroleum and petroleum products. ASTM D 93A is a key technique for the specification of diesel and aviation turbine fuels. First, ...

The trend in semiconductors leads to more IC test data volume, longer test times, and higher test costs. Embedded deterministic test (EDT) has continued to deliver more compression, which has been ...

In my May 2020 CW column, I introduced a new test method for measuring the fracture toughness within the facesheet-to-core interface region of sandwich composites. This proposed test method, referred ...

Scan testing has been the foundation of digital-device production test for many years. Several innovations have been developed to keep up with the growth in pattern-set sizes brought about by large ...

The picture frame shear test method achieved some popularity in the early days of composite materials development when few other shear test methods existed. But as the two- and three-rail shear test ...
