The performance of the final product depends heavily on the degree of cure - making it critical to ensure that the reaction goes to completion for the highest quality and reliability. Achieving this ...

What is a Tensile Test? A tensile test pulls (or stretches) a sample and, as a result, the extensibility/elongation and tensile strength properties are measured in ...

This article will go over some basic background about tensile strength of material and then discuss historic material strength improvement to understand what industrial production of new carbon ...

The chemical structure of the elastomers provides them with an inherent hardness that can be altered. The modified hardness is then measured in terms of of durometer (duro) on a Shore scale. Shore A ...

Young's modulus is a crucial mechanical property in engineering, as it defines the stiffness of a material and tells us how much it will deform for an applied stress. In this video I take a detailed ...

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 ...
