President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Fiber-reinforced composite structures are designed with fibers positioned to carry tensile loads in desired in-plane orientations, so why is interlaminar tensile ...

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, ...

Although materials testing is a well established technique, there are a multitude of tests that can be carried out using a universal materials testing machine. Sophisticated control software allows ...

Solution Medical pouch peel test An Imperial 1000N test system was supplied by Mecmesin (which the OmniTest range has now replaced), along with lever-operated serrated cam grips and a 250N loadcell.

If you’re serious about engineering the things you build, you need to know the limits of the materials you’re working with. One important way to characterize materials is to test the tensile strength ...

This paper investigates the effect of specimen geometry and test boundary conditions on the measured dynamic mechanical properties of high strength sheet steel derived from high speed tensile testing ...
