Engineering thermoplastics vary in their tensile strength. The method for testing the tensile strength of plastics is the same as that of metal; using a “Dog-Bone” test specimen, and recording the ...
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 ...
Researchers have, for the first time, used a 'micropillar compression' technique to characterize the micro-scale strength of cement, allowing for the development of cement with desirable strength ...
