How to Measure Relative Porosity Accurately

How to Measure Relative Porosity Accurately

Measuring relative porosity accurately is crucial for understanding fluid storage in materials. Begin by carefully selecting your sample, ensuring uniformity. Utilize the water displacement method for a straightforward assessment: submerge the sample in water and note the volume displaced. For precision, also consider using advanced techniques like nitrogen adsorption or X-ray tomography. Remember to account for any trapped air to ensure reliable results. Regular calibration of your measuring tools is also essential for accuracy.

From Motion to Modulus: How Vibrations Expose Rigidity

In the world of materials science, vibrations serve as a powerful diagnostic tool. By analyzing how structures respond to various frequencies, engineers can uncover hidden rigidities that may compromise performance. This blog post explores the fascinating relationship between motion and modulus, revealing how vibrations not only expose weaknesses but also inform design choices. Join us as we delve into the science behind this vibrational insight and its implications for the future of engineering.

What an Impulse Can Tell You About Material Quality and Strength

Resonance frequency testing uses motion to reveal what’s really inside a material—how stiff it is, how consistent, and whether anything’s hiding beneath the surface. With just a tap, engineers can read how the structure resists internal motion. This makes it a fast, non-destructive way to evaluate quality, detect flaws, and confirm material performance—across metals, composites, and advanced manufacturing. It replaces assumptions with real physical behavior, helping teams catch problems early and make better decisions with confidence.
