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 ...

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 ...

Universal testing machines outfitted with bend fixtures are used in calculating flexural strength, flexural modulus, yield point, and more. This article will explore the requisite equipment for ...

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 ...

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, ...
