Back in April 2015, my CW column focused on the two ASTM standardized test methods used for measuring the through-the-thickness, or interlaminar, tensile strength of composite laminates. Despite their ...

Compared to general structural steels, high tensile strength steel has increased strength making it ideal for the automotive industry where environmental problems and demands for collision safety are ...

Understanding the tensile properties of adhesives is crucial to determine their suitability for various applications and overall performance.

In practical use, a material only needs to be as strong as required, with factors like lightness, ease of manufacture, and sustainability guiding selection. Although paper, as a raw material, is on ...
