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 ...

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 ...

Adhesives are often exposed to variable stresses that impact their behavioral properties and capacity to endure strain without breakage. These features are vital when determining what adhesive will be ...

This study reveals how GGBS, eggshell powder, and waste glass powder improve concrete's mechanical properties while promoting ...

This article will go over some basic background about tensile strength of material and then discuss historic material strength improvement to understand what industrial production of new carbon ...

One of the most critical factors in determining the reliability of a threaded-fastener joint is the force the tightened fastener exerts on an assembly, which is known as preload. And preload depends ...

Sisal fiber reinforcement in concrete offers significant mechanical and durability benefits, supporting the development of eco-friendly building materials.
