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 ...

The in-plane strength properties of a composite material, axial and transverse tension and compression and in-plane shear, are usually the first to be considered in design. However, ...

This video demonstrates the ISO 37 elastomer tensile strength and elongation test from ADMETestSystems. This test method is used for determining the tensile properties of the elastomers. A tensile ...

One material property that is widely used and recognized is the strength of a material. But what does the word "strength" mean? "Strength" can have many meanings, so let us take a closer look at what ...

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 ...

This video demonstrates Admet’s ASTM D882 film tensile and elongation test. ASTM D882 is a standard test method for analyzing the tensile characteristics of thin plastic sheeting. In this test, the ...
