Professor Frank Walther of TU Dortmund University (Page 82-84)
We interviewed Professor Dr. Frank Walther, Head of the Department of Materials Test Engineering (WPT) at TU Dortmund University in Germany. His research is focused on microstructure-based materials and components testing, destructive and non-destructive testing and measurement techniques as applied to characterizing structure-property relationships, evaluating the fatigue performance, failure mechanisms and damage processes, and predicting remaining fatigue life.
Influence of Deformation Speed and Humidity on Quasistatic Deformation Behavior of Vulcanized Fiber – Experiments with Different Load and Climate Profiles [New Material]
Influence of Deformation Speed and Humidity on Quasistatic Deformation Behavior of Vulcanized Fiber – Experiments with Different Load and Climate Profiles. (Page 85-87)
Detailed knowledge of a material's properties is a basic requirement for design and production engineers in order to ensure safe and efficient operation conditions of structural components. This article presents an investigation and evaluation of the insufficiently studied construction material, vulcanized fiber, regarding the influence of deformation speed and relative humidity on its quasistatic properties.
Adoption of a 10 MN Fatigue Testing Machine to Expand the Evaluation Ability of Composite Materials for Aerospace Structure [New Technology]
In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the applications for carbon fiber reinforced plastics and other composite materials for commercial passenger aircraft. Even today, as much as half of the weight of some aircraft being used consists of composite materials. When building aircraft, in addition to strict safety requirements, there is a need for lightness. For these reasons, there is not much leeway when it comes to safety as compared with other structures.

Analysis of Minor Components in Synthetic Polymers Using SEC-AccuSpot-AXIMA System
MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry is widely used as a technique for the characterization of synthetic polymers. However, when multiple components are present in samples, major components may suppress ionization of the trace components present, preventing their detection.
