Engineers and researchers typically reach for sensors when they want to evaluate the stress-strain characteristics of materials or look at how applied forces affect objects, but now there’s a better way.
By now, you have most likely heard about the upcoming transition to AS9100:2016(D) and the 9110/9120 equivalents. As with any change, this one has its fair share of rumors and opinions.
