Abstract: The critical current of Nb/sub 3/Sn superconductors is highly sensitive to strain. Consequently, accurate mechanical modeling of these conductors is necessary to interpret experimental data ...

Plastics compounders routinely perform mechanical tests as part of the product development cycle. Producers often turn to universal testing machines (UTMs) to pull, stretch, bend or compress test ...

Fibers are ubiquitous in nature. They are the building blocks of various advanced materials and natural structures, such as the cytoskeleton, artificial muscles, filamentous bacteria, DNA, carbon ...

The physical properties of plastic materials are a vital part of product design and quality control. As a result of this, numerous materials tests are carried out. The most rudimentary of these tests ...

Toray Industries, Inc. announced that it has developed Torayca™ M46X carbon fibre. The new offering is around 20% stronger than others in the Torayca™ MX series while maintaining a high tensile ...

Abstract: This paper describes novel elongation-measurement device utilized for uniaxial tensile test. The device consists of two sets of micro probes with piezoresistive sensor for detection of gauge ...

This video demonstrates Admet’s ASTM D882 film tensile and elongation test. ASTM D882 is a standard test method for analyzing the tensile characteristics of thin plastic sheeting. In this test, the ...
