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 ...

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 ...

If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...

Carbon steels are the most versatile load bearing material, and these materials are used in the form of structures, construction, and equipment. The role of environment on these materials under loaded ...

Toray Industries Inc. (Tokyo, Japan) has developed Torayca M46X carbon fiber, a material offering that is reported to be around 20% stronger than others in the Torayca MX series while maintaining a ...

Structural reinforcements are vital for improving the overall strength and lifetime of concrete-based structural applications, including bridge decks, parking garages, and drainage systems.
