Microscopists often wish – and intuit – that the microstructures that they measure correlate somehow to bulk properties. However, this correlation can be hard to measure. Machine learning, in ...

Universal testing machines outfitted with bend fixtures are used in calculating flexural strength, flexural modulus, yield point, and more. This article will explore the requisite equipment for ...

In my last column, I discussed uniaxial flexural strength testing of fiber-reinforced ceramics, that is, simple three- or four-point bending of a strip of material of rectangular cross section (see ...

No longer is product design constrained to the property limits and performance characteristics of unmodified grades of resins. Thermoplastics that are reinforced with high-strength, high-modulus ...

Off-highway vehicles operate in conditions that challenge hard-working components and the materials they are made of. Those vehicles and ancillary equipment must withstand summers in the Australian ...
