A proposed ASTM International standard will help to accelerate the pace of safe and ergonomic designs of exoskeleton/exosuit technology. ASTM’s committee on exoskeletons and exosuits ( F48 ) is developing the proposed standard, which also seeks to reduce the cost of physical exo device manufacturing. According to ASTM International workgroup leader Bochen Jia, ideal exoskeleton/exosuit…, , Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Nora Nimmerichter, tel +1.610.832.9815; nnimmerichter@astm.org Release #11087 ###

A proposed ASTM International standard will help calculate the kinetic energy of simulated rainfall in laboratories. ASTM’s soil and rock committee ( D18 ) is developing the proposed standard ( WK41200 ). Determining the kinetic energy of raindrops is an important factor to be considered when conducting soil erosion studies. Using data collected from determining raindrop size, the proposed…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Katerina Koperna, tel +1.610.832.9728; kkoperna@astm.org Release #11007 ###
