Garment factories have to test that the robustness of the textiles meets international standards. The checks are carried out automatically using strength-testing machines. These usually comprise a ...

Although standardized test methods for fiber-reinforced composites are used for a wide variety of fiber forms, most of these test methods were developed with a focus on composites with continuous ...

This video illustrates the tensile testing on high-strength yarns with ZwickRoell’s materials testing machine. This single column testing machine is ideal for compression, cyclic and tensile testing ...

Among the most common properties reported for fiber-reinforced polymers are those obtained from tensile testing of a unidirectional (UD) composite in the fiber direction. These properties include ...
