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 ...

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 ...

Indentation testing is a non-destructive evaluation method that has become indispensable in the determination of materials’ mechanical properties. By applying a controlled force through an indenter ...

Materials testing tests the accuracy and load capacity of materials in different environmental conditions. Materials testing is not only performed at research institutes, it also helps companies to ...

Scientists have confirmed that ripples in ultra-thin films, only atoms thick, directly affect how flexible and strong they are. By creating alumina films thinner than a hair and testing them with ...

CD BioSustainable supports cosmetic R&D and quality management needs by strengthening raw material supply and material basic property analysis capabilities.

Why today’s high-speed, high-frequency designs have very little “wiggle room” within them relative to laminate properties. Why the end-product’s application and performance determine the most critical ...
