The size of designs continues to grow and IC manufacturers are pushing for higher test quality, especially in mission-critical applications such as transportation and medicine. More advanced nodes ...

About a dozen years ago, the world of test had reached an economic impasse: most digital designs had become sufficiently complex that standard scan testing techniques were no longer cost-effective.

The purpose of your engine is to compress fuel and air and then ignite it, creating heat energy that then makes mechanical motion. If your engine can't compress the air and fuel properly, the engine ...

I noted in a 2005 column (see "Current compression test methods" under “Editor's Pick,” at top right) that there are three basic methods of loading a composite material test specimen in compression: ...
