President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

Abstract: Through the analysis of X-cor sandwich's microscopic characteristics a finite element model of X-cor sandwich's compressive modulus was proposed. The finite element software ANSYS was used ...

Because composite material test specimens tend to be relatively thin, buckling prior to the desired failure mode is a concern when specimens are loaded in compression. Known as column buckling, but ...

Micropillar compression testing [1] is fast emerging as a viable alternative to nanoindentation, for the measurement of mechanical properties and deformation behavior of small volumes and thin films.

ABSTRACT: This paper reports the modeling of residual compressive strength of fired clay bricks submitted to elevated temperature. Five formulations were used and the explored temperatures were 95?C, ...

Abstract: Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels have garnered significant attention in biomedical applications due to their tunable mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and non-toxic nature. This ...
