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 ...

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 ...

These services are designed to support essential plastic property testing at accessible prices for those looking to use recycled content in their products.

The in-plane strength properties of a composite material, axial and transverse tension and compression and in-plane shear, are usually the first to be considered in design. However, ...

Compared to general structural steels, high tensile strength steel has increased strength making it ideal for the automotive industry where environmental problems and demands for collision safety are ...

Specialised Imaging Ltd. has produced a new technical report demonstrating the considerable utility of synchronised data collection using its the SIM Ultra Fast Framing camera in conjunction with a ...

This video illustrates the tensile testing on high-strength yarns with ZwickRoell’s materials testing machine. This single column testing machine is ideal for compression, cyclic and tensile testing ...
