(Nanowerk News) Testing the stiffness or tensile strength of fibres in the nano to micro range experimentally, is often very time-consuming. The samples in most cases have to be affixed using adhesive ...

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 ...

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 ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. However, Subcommittee D30.10 meetings are typically held in conjunction with meetings of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Committee 440 on Fiber Reinforced ...

Tensile testing is one of the most widely used methods for evaluating how a material responds to an axial stretching force. These tests can be conducted under ambient conditions or in controlled ...

The importance of reliability and quality of medical devices cannot be over-estimated, as the lives, safety, and well-being of patients are at great risk and the industry is closely regulated.

A proposed ASTM International standard will be used to evaluate the tensile performance of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) using cylindrical specimens with double-punch loading. A proposed ASTM ...
