The highest effectiveness of heat exchange is under boiling; hence, surface tension is an important parameter and should be determined when new liquid substances are created. The most popular methods are based on numerically solving the Young–Laplace equation by applying the Bashforth and Adams algorithm, which fails at the poles and at the inflection points. The newest algorithm is based on the closed-form expressions that define a drop or bubble. It gives the accurate solutions for the fully created drops or bubbles. To validate it, the surface tension value is determined for the air bubbles in water and compared with the reference data. Because the relative discrepancies are extremely small, the new method may be thought of as positively validated.

A method is derived to detect and localize linear damage in a structure using the measured modal vibration parameters. This method is applicable when the vibration strain energy is stored in the axial or torsional modes, which differentiates it from previously derived strain-energy-based methods. The new method is compared to the previously derived flexibility-change method for comparison. Both methods are verified by application to an analytical eight degree of freedom model. Experimental validation for both methods is also presented by application to an experimental eight degree of freedom spring-mass structure.
