To identify the information technologies required for a computer-aided system to support materials selection, the committee articulated a future vision of a full-function Computer-Aided Materials ...

How do you decide on the “right” fastener type for a component or assembly involving composite and plastic materials in a time-efficient way? To define which materials and concepts a fastener type is ...

Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) for material selection addresses the challenge of choosing among competitive materials for engineering and design objectives. It integrates diverse ...

Produced with all-steel rotating components, the Bevel Buddy Box from Sumimoto Drive Technologies is a compact right-angle-shaft gearmotor with a bevel and helical gear mechanism, designed for hollow ...

Designing equipment for use in harsh environments is no easy task. Finding the appropriate materials is one of the most crucial but potentially complex steps, so manufacturers must note the importance ...

For decades, the construction industry followed a familiar rhythm: design came first, materials followed. The pressing need for sustainable buildings has shattered this routine. Material selection is ...

Plastic plumbing materials have dominated the new construction market for years. Yet, the key differences between the leading plastics systems, PEX and CPVC, are too often not considered during ...

We offer a tailored, adaptable, global service which can be developed to match individual customer requirements where ever they are based around the world. Customers can supply their CAD or tool form ...

Why today’s high-speed, high-frequency designs have very little “wiggle room” within them relative to laminate properties. Why the end-product’s application and performance determine the most critical ...

The selection of the proper materials for a structural component is critical to engineering design. Existing design procedures may currently be sufficient, especially where experience exists, but ...
