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 ...

Although failure of material is not the only reason for bridge failures, it is a vital step for choosing the correct materials, the analysis of bridge design, and construction testing. Bridge members ...

Indentation testing is a non-destructive evaluation method that has become indispensable in the determination of materials’ mechanical properties. By applying a controlled force through an indenter ...

Small punch testing (SPT) has emerged as an indispensable technique for assessing the mechanical properties of materials using only tiny specimens. By utilising a miniature, disc‐shaped specimen ...

In my January 2019 column, I discussed methods to determine whether properties obtained from mechanical testing of composites are correct — or even reasonable. One of the methods focused on comparing ...

Materials testing is critical in product development and manufacturing across various industries. It ensures that products can withstand tough conditions in their ...

(a) The 2D materials were transferred to the in situ mechanical testing device using wet transfer and dry transfer techniques. (b) AFM nanoindentation mechanical testing of 2D material, the 2D ...

The materials testing allows for the study of mechanical and durability properties of structural and construction materials under various loading and environmental conditions. Our lab offers unique ...

In today's world, the urgency to address climate change has never been greater. As we strive to reduce our carbon footprint and shift toward a more sustainable future, technology needs to be pushed ...

SK Capital Partners has acquired Physical Properties Testers from Battery Ventures. PPT Group, headquartered in Halifax, UK, is a company in physical property test and measurement services. It ...

Why today’s high-speed, high-frequency designs have very little “wiggle room” within them relative to laminate properties. Why the end-product’s application and performance determine the most critical ...
