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 my July 2005 column, a new ASTM standard shear test method was introduced 1. At that time, I raised the question, Why do we need another shear test method for composite materials?, with the promise ...

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 ...

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 ...

ASTM D412 (D 412) covers the tensile properties of thermoset rubbers and thermoplastic elastomers. The specification describes two test methods, A and B. Method A is common and can be performed on a ...

ASTM published Standard E3499-25 for PIP testing, enabling faster mechanical property analysis in regulated manufacturing ...

Lucknow: In a boost to engineers and infrastructure planners, researchers have developed a simple web-based tool, tensile ...
