When Nanoparticles Collide...
Researchers used supercomputers to model what happens when two nanoparticles smash into one another in a vacuum. What they learned could inform the development of a variety of new technologies.
Selecting the Best Hub Fastener for a Power Transmission Application
A key aspect of the proper design and operation of power transmission assemblies is how components are fastened to the rotating shaft in order to maintain position and alignment. To optimize manufacturing and operating functionality, many criteria should be considered during the design phase, including some that are frequently overlooked.
The Challenges of Meeting Ever-evolving International Oil and Gas Sealing Requirements
Sealing materials need to satisfy standards from three bodies — industry, super majors (the six largest non-state-owned oil and gas suppliers) and OEMs. Qualifying elastomer materials to these testing standards is challenging due to the sheer number of different standards as well as wide test parameter variations within each standard.
