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 ...

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 ...

• 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 ...

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 ...

Many of the characteristics that make plastics ideal for a variety of packaging and industrial applications also can make baling these materials a somewhat challenging task. Compression force is often ...

Spring and shock technology is moving forward at a staggering rate and Chris King of Viking Performance gets us up to speed. Road racers talk about camber gain, roll center, and Ackerman. Drag racers ...
