  2. Impulse excitation technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_excitation_technique

    The impulse excitation technique (IET) is a non-destructive material characterization technique to determine the elastic properties and internal friction of a material of interest. [1] It measures the resonant frequencies in order to calculate the Young's modulus , shear modulus , Poisson's ratio and internal friction of predefined shapes like ...

  3. Impulse facility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_facility

    An impulse facility is a testing facility that relies on rapid release of stored energy to generate a short period of high enthalpy test conditions for testing of aerodynamic flow, aerodynamic heating and atmospheric reentry, combustion, chemical kinetics, ballistics, and other effects. The rapid release of energy can result in very high ...

  4. Falling weight deflectometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_weight_deflectometer

    A falling weight deflectometer (FWD) is a testing device used by civil engineers to evaluate the physical properties of pavement in highways, local roads, airport pavements, harbor areas, railway tracks and elsewhere. The data acquired from FWDs is primarily used to estimate pavement structural capacity, to facilitate overlay design or ...

  5. Modal testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_testing

    Modal impact hammer with interchangeable tips and accompanying temporal and frequency responses. An ideal impact to a structure is a perfect impulse, which has an infinitely small duration, causing a constant amplitude in the frequency domain; this would result in all modes of vibration being excited with equal energy.

  6. High-power impulse magnetron sputtering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-power_impulse...

    Substrate biasing during pretreatment uses high voltages, which require purpose-designed arc detection and suppression technology. Dedicated DC substrate biasing units provide the most versatile option as they maximize substrate etch rates, minimise substrate damage, and can operate in systems with multiple cathodes.

  7. Shock (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(mechanics)

    This abrupt change in direction causes a rapid velocity change which creates the shock impulse. Testing the effects of shock are sometimes conducted on end-use applications: for example, automobile crash tests. Use of proper test methods and Verification and validation protocols are important for all phases of testing and evaluation.

  8. Dye penetrant inspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye_penetrant_inspection

    Dye penetrant inspection (DP), also called liquid penetrate inspection (LPI) or penetrant testing (PT), is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to check surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals, plastics, or ceramics).

  9. Shock tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_tube

    The shock that eventually forms increases the temperature and pressure of the test gas and induces a flow in the direction of the shock wave. Observations can be made in the flow behind the incident front or take advantage of the longer testing times and vastly enhanced pressures and temperatures behind the reflected wave.
