Brittany Newell, Purdue University assistant professor of engineering technology, and Gary W. Krutz, professor of agricultural and biological engineering, review hydraulic hoses used in mechanical machinery. Their research could determine how a new "smart" sensor can identify the integrity and strength in rubber products such as tires, pneumatic and hydraulic hoses and O-rings. The sensor could make it possible to replace a worn product before it breaks and causes additional damage or harm. Image: Purdue Research Foundation
