Highly developed universal testing machines and custom testing systems are of use in running tests and the determination of properties, for example breaking strength, ductility, elongation, fracture ...

Defects can occur naturally during composite fabrication, and damage can be induced by impacts in service, but these tend to be relatively uncontrolled events. It was desired to induce an easily ...

Mechanical testing is a way of testing and measuring the properties of materials. Machines/instruments are available to test materials or finished products in a range of different ways including ...

Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...

Tensile testing, compression testing, ausforming, extrusion, and other hot-forming deformation 3 kW induction heating Thermal chamber for mechanical testing from -130℃ to 350℃ Displacement, load, and ...

Composites are materials composed of at least two distinct phases (for example carbon fibers in a polymer matrix) in a defined geometric relationship, which are constructed in such a manner that the ...
