It has become a common scene: a driver in a parking lot suddenly loses control of a car, sending it into a storefront or other pedestrian area. In an effort to minimize the injury and damage caused by such crashes, ASTM International Committee F12 on Security Systems and Equipment is developing a proposed new standard, WK13074 , Test Method for Crash Testing of Low Speed Pedestrian Barriers. The…

Many structures, such as aircraft or other lightweight vehicles, are made from thin-ductile structural materials that exhibit low crack-front constraint, which allows for extensive plastic yielding of the material around a crack front. However, many current standards, such as E 399, Test Method for Linear-Elastic Plane-Strain Fracture Toughness K Ic of Metallic Materials, or E 1820, Test Method…

During the past five years, certain insulating oils have been found to contain corrosive sulfur that can produce copper sulfide deposits as a function of time and temperature in operating equipment. A proposed revision to ASTM standard D 1275, Test Method for Corrosive Sulfur in Electrical Insulating Oils, will provide a means to certify that new or in service oils either contain or do not…
