In a first for the construction industry, researchers have developed a virtual vibration test rig (VTR) capable of simulating the fatigue life of dozer push arms with unprecedented accuracy. This ...

Inside the massive testing hangars across Seattle and Everett, the world's biggest jetliners are turned into mechanical lab rats. Hydraulic actuators yank their wings skyward, compressors simulate ...

Boeing has begun fatigue testing on the structural airframe of the 787 Dreamliner. Fatigue testing involves placing the 787 test airframe into a test rig that simulates multiple lifecycles to test how ...

Engineers at Moog and Piedrafita Systems custom-designed a test rig that simulates the movement of a hydraulic vehicle’s tracks over uneven terrain. Test engineers undoubtedly agree on the need for a ...

Airframe to be subjected to test programme equivalent to 60,000 flight cycles by 2008 Dresden-based IABG is preparing to receive the third Airbus A380 airframe for the fatigue-test programme, which ...
