Mechanically fastened joints are often used in structures, including composite structures, to transfer load from one portion of the structure to another. This load is primarily transferred by bearing ...

The Large Bearing Testing Machine has been developed and primarily used for commercial testing of large bearings. It is capable of applying 1,600 kips (7,117 kN) vertical load, and lateral ...

As composite materials are used more extensively in structural applications, some test methods that once were considered very specialized and, therefore, not widely used, have become more significant.

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...

The Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering at the University at Buffalo has an extensive earthquake simulation, structural testing and geotechnical engineering testing facility.

Joints in humanoid robots endure load combinations that require precision components. Oftentimes this means custom bearing solutions. Modern bearing selection takes into account the complete system ...
