Abstract:  
A RECENT POSTER SESSION was the culmination of a senior research project for engineering students at Purdue University. The participating students are Erin McCarthy, Bradley Nance, Andrew Thoman and Sui XiongTay. The research project was sponsored by American Axle & Manufacturing, Electronics Incorporated, and Toyo Seiko. Project Introduction Dynamic image analysis (DIA) offers benefits to the characterization of steel shot media particles previously unattainable through traditional sieving. Utilizing a JM Canty SolidSizer, size and shape characterization of shot media was conducted in accordance with existing industry specifications.
