My March column addressed flexural test methods for composite materials. I noted that the details presented in the various available national and international standards were not mutually consistent ...

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 ...

Static flexural testing has long been conducted because it is a simple method for evaluating all types of materials. Static flexural testing of composite materials, in particular, was discussed in my ...

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 ...
