Through-the-thickenss tensile strength testing using a curved beam The in-plane strength properties of a composite material, axial and transverse tension and compression and in-plane shear, are ...

Stresses in beams are one of the most fundamental concepts in structural engineering, directly impacting the safety and integrity of buildings, bridges, and other constructions.When a force is applied ...

Back in April 2015, my CW column focused on the two ASTM standardized test methods used for measuring the through-the-thickness, or interlaminar, tensile strength of composite laminates. Despite their ...

There are many applications for particle accelerators, even outside research facilities, but for the longest time they have been large, cumbersome machines, not to mention very ex ...
