President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Although less commonly measured than the in-plane tensile properties of a unidirectional (UD) composite, interlaminar tensile strength is an important material ...

Material testing is important in big industry, where manufacturers must be able to trust the properties of the raw materials they’re using. The rest of us generally take a supplier’s word for it that ...

The tensile test plays a crucial role in assessing the tolerance levels of bonded joints under longitudinal strain, which is essential for selecting the most appropriate adhesives for specific ...

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 ...

Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...

The ISO 15630-3, ASTM A416 and ASTM A1061 test standards offer guidelines for testing steel strands. Manufacturers of steel strands are required, through product standards, to test their products ...
