Compression tests are used to characterize various compressive properties such as the compression modulus and compressive strength. They are performed on fiber-reinforced composites with ...

CAMBRIDGE, UK — Burster prazisionsmesstechnik announced the tension and compression load cells series 8416 and 8417, offering what the company claims to be the smallest measuring ranges, from 0 to 20N ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

Because composite material test specimens tend to be relatively thin, buckling prior to the desired failure mode is a concern when specimens are loaded in compression. Known as column buckling, but ...
