Veterinary scientists have developed a diagnostic test that can detect emerging strains of canine parvovirus, a severe --- and potentially fatal -- virus that affects dogs. A new test developed at the ...

Servohydraulic testers do more than conventional high-strainrate materials testers. Structures or components subjected to quickly applied loads see proportionately high rates of strain. But the ...

When individual proteins form aggregates, they shed the shapes they once took as lone monomers for others that fit in with the collective. A new technique capitalizes on this often-disorderly ...

The entire stress-strain curve can now be determined using nanoindentation with a flat-ended cylindrical punch and novel analysis of the resulting force-displacement data 1. Unlike pyramidal indenters ...

“Gauging the strain,” February’s Special Report on Data Acquisition, presented traditional strain gage theory and highlighted several instruments and bridge amplifiers suitable for use with strain ...
