Researchers at TU Wien have developed a novel method that is suitable for the mechanical tensile testing of micro and nanofibers. The special feature: Samples can be reversibly coupled to and ...

Aerospace and defense manufacturers face the challenge of increasing throughput while maintaining structural performance and controlling costs as production demands rise. Fast-cure composite materials ...

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 ...

Although standardized test methods for fiber-reinforced composites are used for a wide variety of fiber forms, most of these test methods were developed with a focus on composites with continuous ...

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 ...

Sheet metal forming operations can vary greatly in their processes. From simple bending to stretching to deep drawing of complex parts, sheet metal forming operations may take many forms. Image Credit ...

The high and low-temperature tensile test machine is suitable for testing and analyzing mechanical properties such as tension, compression and bending of metal and non-metal materials in ...
