Skoltech researchers have presented a new simple physical model for predicting the hardness of materials based on information about the shear modulus and equations of the state of crystal structures.

Highly developed universal testing machines and custom testing systems are of use in running tests and the determination of properties, for example breaking strength, ductility, elongation, fracture ...

In my previous column, I noted that the shear strength and shear stiffness of the core material in a sandwich panel can be determined in situ while performing flexural tests to evaluate other sandwich ...

Researchers have measured and identified for the first time the stress and strain shear modulus and internal friction of graphene sheets. Graphene is a material that has many potential groundbreaking ...

This is a note on the compressive modulus of elasticity of Gap Pad materials, including the variability in compressive modulus values, the constant rate of strain relaxation modulus, and compression ...

Innovative use of 2.5 mm steel wires in RC deep beams leads to over 60 % increase in shear strength, providing a viable method for infrastructure enhancement.

In digital circuits, insulating dielectrics separate the conducting parts (wire interconnects and transistors) from one another. As components have scaled down and transistors have gotten closer and ...
