Improve Process Temperature Monitoring in Thermoplastic Welding
Embed Fiber Optic Sensors for In-situ Temperature Measurements at the Weld Zone An important innovation in the ongoing adoption of lightweight materials is the use of induction welding to join composite materials based on a thermoplastic polymer. With this process, an induction coil creates eddy currents within two composite parts. The process heats the polymer to the point of melting. The two parts are pressed…Read More

IEEE GlobalSpec to host webinar featuring the Optical Backscatter Reflectometer (OBR)
High-resolution optical backscatter reflectometry (OBR) has become a valuable tool in the design, test and diagnostics of fiber components, photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and short fiber networks. In much the same way that standard OTDRs identify and locate issues and sources of loss in long-range fiber optic systems, high-resolution OBRs can locate and identify issues and defects with sub-millimeter resolution and since they don’t suffer…Read More
Enhancing Weapons Readiness: Fatigue Cracking Analysis for Gun Barrels
Every time a gun is fired, enormous gas pressures are generated inside the barrel to propel a projectile toward its intended target. For perspective, typical pressures can exceed 50,000 pounds of force per square inch: over three times the water pressure at the deepest ocean depths. The resulting stresses in the barrel’s wall impart fatigue damage each time a round is fired, initiating cracks that…Read More
