November 1998
A 36-year-old steel plant is an incubator for government-sponsored technologies designed to improve energy efficiency and the quality of finished steel.
pushing the design envelope with CAE
Computer-aided engineering, combined with expert interpretation, can help manufacturers quickly satisfy demand for increasingly small yet reliable products.
risk-based analysis tools
ASME's risk-based inspection methodologies are being used to optimize and prioritize equipment overhaul and maintenance, and upgrade decisions.
preventing rollover with FEA
Event-simulation software helped engineers improve the safety of a military transport vehicle, while reducing the number of prototypes and shortening the design cycle.
two-way brush seals catch a wave
A set of inner and outer brush seals capable of bidirectionally restricting flows in a wave rotor has been successfully fabricated and tested.
crush simulation of cars with FEA
While crash analyses have been carried out with success, a crush analysis is much more difficult to achieve.
