Old trees are learning new tricks with the advent of composite materials. A "green composite" made from biodegradable ...
This article by ADMET discusses foam tensile strength testing. A foam tensile strength test can be found in ASTM D3574 Test E which applies to slab, bonded, and molded flexible cellular urethane foams ...
The cause of failure in engineering structures is routinely investigated via the detailed study of material fracture surfaces. This remains a key research area in material sciences, with researchers ...
Although there are indirect methods for determining the through-thickness tensile strength of a solid laminate (see “Learn More,” at right), direct loading can be achieved even if the laminate is thin ...
