Test impact analysis involves concentrating testing efforts on the specific changes made during discrete development ...

Others argue that real-world or not, flat-barrier testing is a good way to gauge the effectiveness of the restraint systems, primarily the safety belts and air bags. NHTSA's side-impact test ...

UDRI's hypervelocity impact facility has 2 two-stage light-gas gun ranges for hypervelocity testing at velocities up to 24,600 ft/sec (7.5 km/sec). Applications for this facility include design and ...

I selected 11 impact driver kits ranging in price from $100 to $300 and put each one through a series of progressively more challenging performance tests. My first test involved driving three-inch ...

Impact testing machines evaluate an object's capacity to withstand high-rate loading and it is commonly used to determine the service life of a part or material. Impact resistance can be among the ...

Impact velocities range from 100 ft/sec to over 1,600 ft/sec. Typical projectiles for testing aircraft structures and engine components to meet FAA/EASA regulations include birds up to 8-pound Canada ...
