EWI is pleased to recognize Technical Fellow Stan Ream, recipient of the 2019 Frank A. DiPietro Award. Stan received the award at the annual Advanced Lasers Application Workshop (ALAW), held in early June in Plymouth, Michigan.

Tensile testing over time is the first step in determining property variation for new material forming. However, industrial stamping processes often experience higher strain than what can be measured in a tensile test. Bulge testing can dramatically improve the accuracy of the yield surface of new materials. The EWI Forming Center recently developed the bulge...

Maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations are essential to sustain and extend the life of numerous systems including aerospace, energy, defense, heavy equipment, and railroad. Aircraft engine MRO alone is a $30B global industry, projected to grow beyond $40B within five years. Overall, global aircraft MRO will exceed $100B annually within the next few years. ...
