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 ...
Back in April 2015, my CW column focused on the two ASTM standardized test methods used for measuring the through-the-thickness, or interlaminar, tensile strength of composite laminates. Despite their ...
President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Fiber-reinforced composite structures are designed with fibers positioned to carry tensile loads in desired in-plane orientations, so why is interlaminar tensile ...
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 ...
ADMET has many years of experience in the material testing industry and this has shown the significance of equipping test machines with the exact grips and fixtures. Image Credit: Admet Inc. A machine ...
As the demands for light-weight composite structures for aerospace, ground transportation, and environmentally sustainable energy systems develop, so do the mechanical testing requirements for ...
Material testing is important in big industry, where manufacturers must be able to trust the properties of the raw materials they’re using. The rest of us generally take a supplier’s word for it that ...
