NASA's X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology (QueSST) experimental aircraft is being moved from California to Texas for structural and fuel system testing. The aircraft is designed to reduce typical sonic ...

Structural steel can lose significant load-bearing strength under high heat, making properly specified passive fire protection essential. Fire ratings must be supported by standards-based testing that ...

NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) Program is concluding its structural qualification test series with one upcoming final test that will push the design for the rocket’s liquid oxygen tank to its limits ...

On June 24, 2020, engineers completed the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket’s structural testing campaign for the Artemis lunar missions by testing the liquid oxygen structural test article to find its ...

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is critical in ensuring safety and reliability, areas easily compromised if not monitored with a broad range of necessary tools and techniques. Locating concealed ...

A real-time hybrid fire simulation algorithm is developed and tested to capture the expected behaviour of a steel column within a structural frame, considering the slow thermal expansion of the stiff ...

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 ...

The federal investigation into the deadly collapse of a Florida beachfront condominium building is entering a new phase that involves cutting and drilling into concrete and steel to determine what ...

Russian airframer Irkut has delivered the second SSJ-New aircraft intended for strength testing, transferring it from its Komsomolsk production centre to Novosibirsk. Structural certification tests ...
