What is a Tensile Test? A tensile test pulls (or stretches) a sample and, as a result, the extensibility/elongation and tensile strength properties are measured in ...
Old trees are learning new tricks with the advent of composite materials. A "green composite" made from biodegradable ...
Effectiveness of a second phase in metallic glass heterostructures to improve mechanical properties varies widely. Unfortunately, methods to fabricate such heterostructures like foams and composites ...
The cause of failure in engineering structures is routinely investigated via the detailed study of material fracture surfaces. This remains a key research area in material sciences, with researchers ...
