Phased array probe for the inspection of large steel forgings
Reliable inspection of large steel forgings is a significant problem across multiple industries. When the dimensions of forgings are at least 1000 mm in each direction, ultrasonic phased array inspection becomes difficult because conventional probes are ...

Three-Dimensional Quantification of Cellular Traction Forces and Mechanosensing of Thin Substrata by Fourier Traction Force Microscopy [PDF]
We introduce a novel three-dimensional (3D) traction force microscopy (TFM) method motivated by the recent discovery that cells adhering on plane surfaces exert both in-plane and out-of-plane traction stresses.

Anisotropy Corrected FMC/TFM Based Phased Array Ultrasonic Imaging in an Austenitic Buttering Layer
For the narrow gap dissimilar weld between a ferritic steel and a nickel base superalloy, a nickel base alloy buttering layer is deposited on the ferritic steel side as an intermediate layer. The bonding between the buttering layer and the ferritic steel
