Welcome to the Omnia Manufacturing weekly aggregation of news articles, scientific journal releases, current research, and events that have been published recently.
Transistors are one of the most important inventions that has transformed the world faster than ever before. Over 59% population currently connected to internet now, and this number is growing with lower cost and higher accessibility.
Blast and explosion mitigation has come a long way from thick concrete and metal housings. … The result was the discovery of a high tensile strength to weight ratio polymer given the name Energy/Explosion Resistant Coating or ERC.
A bolted joint is the joining of two pieces of material using a bolt (or other threaded fastener) and a nut or threaded/tapped hole. It is expected that the bolted joint will be able to withstand the maximum applied forces to the joint over its lifetime.
Choosing the correct rivet length for structural and nonstructural purposes is important for making full use of the material properties of the chosen rivet. Rivets are permanent mechanical fasteners that plastically deform to maintain axial loading on a joint.
Nature’s ability to evolve through natural selection, genetic drift, and other mechanisms has become an inspiration to modern (and historic) design choices. This process of designing based on natures problem solving through evolution has been given the name – biomimicry.
In an engineering or manufacturing facility it is always useful to reference information or charts in a readily accessible format. Opening a phone or moving to a conference room simply to look at and discus a chart that should be displayed is a waste of time and can be fixed by simply displaying a large poster wall chart for all employees on a shop/factory floor or in an office.
The pressure-volume diagram (abbreviated as the P-V diagram) is a graphical representation of the changes in pressure with respect to volume in a closed system. P-V diagrams are useful for determining the efficiency of a system and/or the work done by or to a system.
