(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, ...
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 ...
In this article, we will examine three essential aspects of flat tensile specimens: where and why they are used, how ...
This video demonstrates the ISO 37 elastomer tensile strength and elongation test from ADMETestSystems. This test method is used for determining the tensile properties of the elastomers. A tensile ...
This video demonstrates Admet’s ASTM D882 film tensile and elongation test. ASTM D882 is a standard test method for analyzing the tensile characteristics of thin plastic sheeting. In this test, the ...
The CIEST Laboratory successfully completed testing pipe liner samples for “apparent hoop tensile strength” as described in ASTM D2290. The method uses a split disk to apply tensile forces to a hoop ...
In the United States, heart disease is the leading cause of death among adults. Vascular stents are vital medical devices that are used to ensure patients increase their life expectancy and lead ...
