We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Structural Integrity",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Drives save power on massive presses from
Control Techniques, which we summarised at the time by saying "Alcoa's aluminium extrusion presses were upgraded in 1998, a big project requiring the installation of 12 132kW Unidrives".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Prevention is better than cure offshore from
AV Technology: "Neil Parkinson, Technical Director of AV Technology, outlines some of the requirements for offshore structural monitoring".
In December 2007, we covered the news from AV Technology
concerning its Structural monitoring
- take a look at Structural monitoring improves life on the buses
which says: "Tests validate theoretical structural integrity predictions for Optare's Tempo and Versa buses under a wide range of operational conditions".
Take a look also at the news release from Spelsberg els UK, Plastic enclosures survive UV exposure,
as well as Simulation technology used for wind turbines from LMS International,
and Catalogue shows piezoelectric sensors from Techni Measure.
