  2. Ball joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_joint

    A typical ball joint with cutaway view (right) An inner tie rod end cut open to expose the ball joint. In an automobile, ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles, and are used on virtually every automobile made. [1] They bionically resemble the ball-and-socket joints found in most tetrapod ...

  3. Dual ball joint suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_ball_joint_suspension

    The two arms, the spindle, and the body, form a four-bar link.Use of the linkage at the lower suspension connection of either a MacPherson strut or a short long arms suspension readily gives an effective virtual ball joint outboard of the spindle, which is very useful for a suspension designer, allowing negative scrub radius whilst allowing the ball joints to move in and thus out of the way of ...

  4. Dye-and-pry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye-and-Pry

    Dye-n-Pry is a useful failure analysis technique to detect cracking or open circuits in BGA solder joints. [2] This has some practical advantages over other destructive techniques, such as cross sectioning, as it can inspect a full ball grid array which may consist of hundreds of solder joints. Cross sectioning, on the other hand, may only be ...

  5. Recirculating ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recirculating_ball

    Recirculating ball, also known as recirculating ball and nut or worm and sector, is a steering mechanism commonly found in older automobiles, off-road vehicles, and some trucks. Most newer cars use the more economical rack and pinion steering instead, but some upmarket manufacturers (such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz ) held on to the design until ...

  6. Tribometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribometer

    During a typical test, a ball is slid on an angle along a track until it impacts a surface and then bounces off of the surface. The friction produced in the contact between the ball and the surface results in a horizontal force on the surface and a rotational force on the ball.

  7. Preload (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preload_(engineering)

    It is also used in testing a specimen, for a process where the crosshead moves to load the specimen to a specified value before a test starts. Data is not captured during the preload segment. When tensile specimens are initially placed into testing grips, they can be subjected to small compressive forces. These forces can cause specimens to ...

  8. Four-point flexural test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-point_flexural_test

    The four-point flexural test provides values for the modulus of elasticity in bending, flexural stress, flexural strain and the flexural stress-strain response of the material. This test is very similar to the three-point bending flexural test. The major difference being that with the addition of a fourth bearing the portion of the beam between ...

  9. JTAG - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JTAG

    JTAG (named after the Joint Test Action Group which codified it) is an industry standard for verifying designs of and testing printed circuit boards after manufacture. JTAG implements standards for on-chip instrumentation in electronic design automation (EDA) as a complementary tool to digital simulation . [ 1 ]
