Civil and Geotechnical engineers and researchers must consider the behavior of earth materials when developing designs and construction methods. A critical part of understanding this relationship and assessing risk is determining the force and pressure exerted when objects are moving or in contact...

Improving Catalytic Converter Design & Handling With Pressure Measurement Tighter regulatory emission standards have forced manufacturers to design greater surface area into the catalyst to dilute emissions even further. Measuring the pressure applied in the assembly process has become more...

Quantify Lizard Bite Forces with Flexible Sensors Background: For the past seven years, a Montana family has gone to Desolation Canyon, Utah, for a white water rafting and camping trip. As years have gone by, they have noticed the large number of lizards living in the area and always wondered how...

Tire Bead Pressure Measurement with Tactile Pressure Sensors The I-Scan™ pressure mapping system enables quick and accurate measurements of the bead seat/seal pressure profile of virtually any tire to wheel interface. Until the introduction of I-Scan, the only way to measure the tire bead profile...

Evaluate Brake Pad Pressure Distribution The I-Scan™ pressure mapping system is a versatile research and development tool for brake system and friction plate manufacturers. The system can provide instant insight into the dynamic forces and pressures acting between a brake pad and rotor or brake shoe...
