President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Although less commonly measured than the in-plane tensile properties of a unidirectional (UD) composite, interlaminar tensile strength is an important material ...
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 ...
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 ...
Matthew Spiret, Metals Market Manager at Instron, talks to AZoMabout the new ISO 6892-1 standard for tensile testing metallic materials at ambient temperatures. Please could you give us an overview of ...
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. ASTM’s concrete and ...
