Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is an indispensable tool in the realm of engineering, providing insights into structural behaviors under various conditions. But as with any computational model, its results are only as reliable as the underlying assumptions and the quality of input data. That’s where validation becomes crucial….
KitchenAid mixers are popular for their versatility and consistency, and one critical component is the shaft. This component is responsible for transferring power from the motor to the cutting blades and is subject to a wide range of loads and stresses during operation. Case Study: KitchenAid Stand Mixer…
As a farmer or heavy equipment operator, you know that measuring the loads on the power take-off (PTO) shaft of a tractor is crucial for the safety and longevity of your equipment. The PTO shaft is responsible for transferring power from the tractor to other pieces of equipment,…
Precision manufacturing equipment, such as machining centers, are vital to the manufacturing industry as they provide the ability to produce high-quality and accurate components. The reliable operation of these machines is critical for meeting production schedules, maintaining quality standards and reducing costs. One of the major components of…
ITM Employs JEDEC-9704A to Test Strain on Printed Circuit Boards Every modern electronic device includes at least one printed circuit board, so it stands to reason that these intricate parts fail at times due to stress and strain. When that happens, manufacturers know they can turn to ITM’s…
Suspended in a harness 30 feet above a concrete spillway in central North Dakota, ITM engineer Ryan “RJ” Matthews instruments the gate of one of the world’s largest earthen dams with dozens of strain gauge sensors. Integrated Test & Measurement’s field service technicians and engineers have installed strain…
Quantifying stress, strain and force within a structure using real world strain gauge measurements is commonly used to verify FEA models and estimate a component’s fatigue life. Our engineers and technicians have planned and implemented challenging strain gauge installations for our customers around the globe. Information from these strain gauge installations has allowed our customers…
