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.

The size of designs continues to grow and IC manufacturers are pushing for higher test quality, especially in mission-critical applications such as transportation and medicine. More advanced nodes ...

Offering high-quality accurate measurements in a single device can improve performance and reduce cost. Measuring torque, rotational speed, angle of rotation, and the quantities derived from these ...

I noted in a 2005 column (see "Current compression test methods" under “Editor's Pick,” at top right) that there are three basic methods of loading a composite material test specimen in compression: ...

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 ...
