In the sporting goods sector, consumers are willing to invest heavily in materials that combine both performance and sustainability. The Alliance for European Flax-Linen and Hemp, has reported an ...

In science and engineering, it's unusual for innovation to come in one fell swoop. It's more often a painstaking plod through which the extraordinary gradually becomes ordinary. But we may be at an ...

Seco Tools Inc. has developed its Steadyline vibration damping shell mill holders that feature a passive dynamic damping system offering up to three times the rigidity of equivalent solid holders,.

Engineers are working on intelligent materials that can diminish vibrations and extract power from the environment. These electro-active elastomers could dampen annoying vibrations in a car, for ...

Hydrin-brand ECO has a long history of use in automotive applications due its exceptional heat and oil resistance up to 150°C, while maintaining flexibility at low temperatures down to -50°C. While ...

Launched in 2022 for a period of 46 months, the ACDC (advanced composite for acoustic and vibration damping control) project aims to develop disruptive concepts for reducing vibrations and acoustic ...

Vibration-absorbing, sound-damping materials such as sheets of rubber and expanded foam tend to be thick, bulky and soft. A new material is a big exception to that tendency, however, as it absorbs ...

Benchmarking workshops (also called mechathons when held in the area of mechatronics) can be used to benchmark existing technologies and bring together experts of the same field in order to encourage ...

Active or passive technology can be used to isolate vibrations from equipment. By employing active techniques, opposite but equal forces are created electronically via actuators and sensors to cancel ...
