A Variable-Impulse Hammer Impact Test (VIHIT) Method for Improved Mode Shape Identification
The impact hammer, equipped with a force transducer, is a portable and practical tool for inducing measurable excitations in structural health monitoring (SHM). However, its reliability is often limited by uncontrolled factors such as swing power, angle,

Misperception of Body Weight After Childhood Cancer
ABSTRACT Background Misperception of body weight can negatively impact the weight management efforts of childhood cancer survivors (CCSs). Both being overweight or underweight are associated with chronic health conditions commonly observed in CCS; therefore, accurate weight perception is critical for reducing long‐term health risks.

Repeatability of concrete rebound hardness using comprehensive statistical analysis
The reliability of the result significantly affects the use of the Coefficient of Variation (within the test variation), which reflects the variability of the concrete properties rather than the standard deviation.

Thermomechanical fatigue tests of laser beam powder bed fusion (PBF‐LB) Inconel 718 show that the additively manufactured material reaches almost the lifetimes of conventionally‐rolled material under no‐dwell conditions. Introducing dwell times at the maximum temperature markedly reduces the lifetimes due to pronounced grain boundary sliding associated

Influence of Test Temperature and Test Frequency on Fatigue Life of Aluminum Alloy EN AW‐2618A
The influence of test temperature and test frequency on the fatigue life of EN AW‐2618A is investigated. High‐cycle fatigue tests are performed at different test temperatures and frequencies on the 1000 h/230°C overaged state. Both test parameters reduce fatigue life due to time‐dependent damage mechanisms.

New tools for structural testing - Piezoelectric impact hammers and acceleration rate sensors [PDF]
Small-sizeultra-high-precision mechanical systems demand special testing methodologies, such as a betterhighfrequency response, a precise impact position, an extremely high repeatability, etc. Utilizing the fact that signals obtained from piezoelectric sensing elements are strongly ine uenced by the interfacing circuitry, piezoelectric sensors that can
