(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 ...

The in-plane strength properties of a composite material, axial and transverse tension and compression and in-plane shear, are usually the first to be considered in design. However, ...

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 ...

One material property that is widely used and recognized is the strength of a material. But what does the word "strength" mean? "Strength" can have many meanings, so let us take a closer look at what ...

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 ...

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.

In this interview AZoM speaks to Matt Mahier from Instron about tire testing, the applications and solutions. How many materials typically go in to making a tire? Tires can seem simple on the surface, ...
