Back in April 2015, my CW column focused on the two ASTM standardized test methods used for measuring the through-the-thickness, or interlaminar, tensile strength of composite laminates. Despite their ...
In my previous column (see “Editor's Picks,” at right), I discussed transverse flexural testing of a unidirectional composite as one method of evaluating the strength of the fiber/matrix interfacial ...
(Nanowerk News) Testing the stiffness or tensile strength of fibres in the nano to micro range experimentally, is often very time-consuming. The samples in most cases have to be affixed using adhesive ...
What is a Tensile Test? A tensile test pulls (or stretches) a sample and, as a result, the extensibility/elongation and tensile strength properties are measured in ...
The surface of water provides an excellent environment for gliding movement, in both nature and modern technology, from surface living animals such as the water strider, to Langmuir–Blodgett films.
A proposed ASTM International standard will be used to evaluate the tensile performance of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) using cylindrical specimens with double-punch loading. A proposed ASTM ...
Sheet metal forming operations can vary greatly in their processes. From simple bending to stretching to deep drawing of complex parts, sheet metal forming operations may take many forms. Image Credit ...
The importance of reliability and quality of medical devices cannot be over-estimated, as the lives, safety, and well-being of patients are at great risk and the industry is closely regulated.
