Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...

ASTM D 695 1, “Compressive Properties of Rigid Plastics,” defines the end-loading compression test method familiar to the composites community. It was introduced by ASTM Committee D20-Plastics more ...

About a dozen years ago, the world of test had reached an economic impasse: most digital designs had become sufficiently complex that standard scan testing techniques were no longer cost-effective.

Last month we acquainted you with a few unique procedures for using conventional tune-up devices—such as a vacuum gauge, timing light and electrical analyzer—for evaluating the efficiency and ...

You might talk about it often, but do you really know what compression is all about? Every engine has to make it and those that don't are hurtin' for sure. But, here's the confusing part, for this ...

Test compression technology was invented to address the problem of escalating test-pattern size. Compression allows more test vectors to be applied to an IC in a shorter time and with fewer tester ...

IC designers now have a powerful weapon in the struggle against rising test costs: commercially available EDA solutions that provide fast and effective means to implement scan compression on-chip. By ...
