Selecting the proper materials for a structural component is critical to engineering design. Materials selection is governed by many factors, some of which are in opposition. The principal selection ...

Computer-aided designs, such as this model of a fingertip-sized heart pump, can reduce the number of physical prototypes that must be made. Computer-aided design (CAD) is a tool intended to facilitate ...

In an exclusive interview with Deccan Chronicle, Radha Krishnan, President and Founder of Detroit Engineered Products (DEP), talks about how computer-aided engineering (CAE) is transforming product ...

It seems a bit like a choose-your-own adventure story: You use computer-aided design to create a wind turbine. For 10 years you operate your turbine successfully but then disaster strikes in the form ...

Once seen as a specialty task for advanced research and development, computer-aided engineering (CAE) -- including simulation and optimization -- today is widely used to accelerate the ...

So, when did the medical device industry begin to embrace CAD/CAM and CAE software, and what nudged manufacturers in that direction? In 1995, MD+DI published an in-depth article noting an increasing ...

Food product, process and equipment design, like all other manufacturing, typically starts with building, testing and improving a prototype based on feedback. Computer-aided engineering (CAE) shifts ...

In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...

The selection of the proper materials for a structural component is critical to engineering design. Existing design procedures may currently be sufficient, especially where experience exists, but ...
