Students will develop an understanding that objects and materials can be tested to learn about their properties. Students will help plan and conduct different tests on the materials. Students will be ...

A Standard Test Method is a conclusive procedure that yields a test result. So as to achieve accurate and relevant test results, a standard test method is definite, unambiguous, and experimentally ...

Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...

The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

Knowing the force required to progressively separate two bonded, flexible adherends gives engineers an understanding of the direct measure of the adhesive bond strength in a bonded joint. Therefore, ...

Researchers at Fiji National University are conducting advanced strength tests on giant bamboo to determine its suitability ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In addition to providing increased strength properties, fiber-reinforced CMCs exhibit markedly improved toughness and damage tolerance compared to traditional ...
