As the composite industry shifts toward a circular economy, manufacturers face a dual challenge: integrating nontraditional feedstocks while maintaining high-performance output. This session explores ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A new method to determine yield strength based on hardness could be used in storage facility pipes with results more conservative than outlined in CFR Title 49 Part 195.106. Based on presentation to ...
