Several years ago, I started poking around to fix a challenge all field engineers deal with when generating materials field testing data: Accurately collecting data from the field without knowing ...

Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...

Following the anthrax mail attack on the eastern United States in September 2001, emergency response organizations across the country were inundated with “white-powder” incidents. All but a few of the ...

Under specific conditions, hydrogen can diffuse in metal, leaving a long-term effect on the material’s properties. Close investigation of the behavior of materials and components in hydrogen-rich ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been mass produced for decades in consumer products like frying pans, water-resistant clothing, food packaging and cosmetics. They have also been used ...

The central mission of the Materials Testing Institute at the University of Stuttgart is the technology transfer from science into industry. For their future challenge in hydrogen technology, the MPA ...
