Whether you are designing a battery for a new automotive EV design, industrial or consumer electronics, or any innovative battery product in this rapidly accelerating space, you have the same engineering goals: Performance, Lifespan, and Safety. The charge and discharge cycles of lithium-ion...

Evaluate Engine Gaskets With Pressure Distribution Challenge An important factor in maximizing the efficiency of an engine is making sure the combustion opening is properly sealed through the entire combustion cycle. Decisions need to be made about the block and head structure, fasteners, lubricants...

Battery formation is a pivotal stage in the manufacture of batteries, determining their performance and longevity. This process involves the initial electrochemical transformation of raw materials, shaping the battery's efficiency and stability. Through controlled charge and discharge cycles, the...

Automotive Door Pressure Wind, noise, and water leaks in a new vehicle can be a significant source of customer dissatisfaction, create a perception of poor quality, and cause warranty expenses. Proper adjustment of hinges and door latches while the car is in the factory and the doors are being...

Evaluate Coil Spring Pressure Distribution Engineers can take many approaches to designing coil springs. Some designers will clip the end of the spring "square"; creating a small high-pressure point at the end of the spring that transfers load eccentrically. Other designers bend the last coil to be...

High Speed Impact Testing Using Pressure Distribution The I-Scan™ force and pressure mapping system can be used in crash test dummy studies to capture the dynamic pressure and impact force that are exerted during an impact. I-Scan can identify the temporal, local, peak, and spatial pressures of two...

Spray Pattern Pressure Measurement Challenge Distribution of the spray from a nozzle is important, but difficult to quantify. A nozzle manufacturer needs to meet their customer's needs. Selling a too high pressure nozzle might cause damage to property or injure people. Developing a low pressure...

Improve Seat Belt Design & Comfort With Pressure Measurement Challenge Seat belts are a very important safety device in a vehicle but ineffective if not worn properly. Studies of why people don’t use their seat belts highlight comfort as a critical factor. Solution The I-Scan™ pressure and force...

Pressure Mapping For Safety Equipment Evaluation Background: C2i Advanced Technologies provides and manufactures solutions to correct equipment and protection problems faced by firefighters, police officers, first responders, and soldiers. Challenge: When C2i wanted to test whether their latest...

Hip Protectors And Impact Pressure Distribution The I-Scan™ pressure mapping system is an exciting tool for studying impact force distribution and energy dissipation under hip protectors or other protective devices. The system measures the peak pressure, contact area, and pressure distribution under...
