Chapter 7 - Trends in the development of equipment for accelerated testing

Abstract

Chapter 7 discusses trends in the development of testing equipment, including: •Development of simpler testing equipment mostly for materials and details used in automotive and aerospace engineering;•Demonstration of how the marketing of testing equipment tends to relate primarily to the electronics industry. This includes apparatus, instruments, materials, and machinery details;•Demonstration of the global nature of the general-purpose test equipment market, largely consisting of the communications sector, the oscilloscopes segment, and the market in the Americas;•General trends in testing equipment development;•The growth and the development of the test and measurement industry;•Key trends for the electronic test and measurement equipment;•An overview of the automotive testing equipment market;•Analysis of the trends in the Asia–Pacific region (China, India, and others);•Trends in the development of equipment for aerospace simulation and aerospace materials testing.
