The article describes a study on the behaviour of a vertical-axis washing machine's hydraulic balancer, which is a critical component that helps to balance the load during the spinning phase of the washing cycle. The study was conducted by SPM, a company that specializes in dynamic analysis, to confirm a hypothesis that the flexibility of the tub was causing the imbalance and to validate a proposed modification to stiffen the structure.

The article focuses on the difference in fatigue behaviour between rubber and metal materials. While metal fatigue is often described by a simple rule: increasing mean strain is detrimental to fatigue life, rubber fatigue is more complex and depends on the material's ability to strain crystallize. The text concludes that while tensile mean stresses are always detrimental in metals, in rubber they may be either beneficial or harmful depending on whether the rubber can strain crystallize.

The text discusses the importance of accuracy in steel connection design and introduces SDC Verifier, a software solution that streamlines the process. Steel connections are critical components of civil and structural engineering, ensuring the safe transfer of loads throughout a structure. However, designing and verifying these connections can be time-consuming and error-prone due to complex calculations and compliance with various codes and regulations.

Menet Aero worked with Wolf Star Technologies to implement the True-Load load reconstruction software on their hexacopter drone. This project allowed Menet Aero to acquire valuable data on their drone designs, which can be used to optimize the weight and cost of their aircraft. The True-Load methodology proved to be an efficient and effective use of FEA models and testing techniques, providing a small investment in strain gauges for mission-critical data.

The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is a 40m-class optical and infrared telescope being built in Chile. The ELT has a complex geometry, with a rotating structure and a dome that must be protected from wind effects to ensure accurate observations. To study the wind flow within the dome, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was created.

This paper presents the preliminary simulation study of a typical centrifuge currently produced by Gamma Meccanica. The objective of this study is to evaluate the behaviour of the centrifuge using moving particle simulation and discrete element method (MPS-DEM) simulation techniques with Particleworks 7.2.1 to gain a better understanding of phenomena that are impossible to monitor experimentally.
