Compression tests are used to characterize various compressive properties such as the compression modulus and compressive strength. They are performed on fiber-reinforced composites with ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Because composite structures are subjected to flexural loading in typical applications, it is not surprising that flexure testing of composites is commonly ...

When first introduced to mechanical testing of composite materials, one can be confused, even overwhelmed, by the number of available test standards. One reason for this large variety of tests is the ...

Thermo-compression processing optimizes Cu/SiC composites, improving strength and toughness by improving particle ...

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.
