Advanced composites are gaining ground in many areas, especially aerospace, automotive and renewable energies, as they are lightweight and help to save energy. What is still missing are accurate and ...

Wherever there are bindings, these can also "break" - be it through external influences or material fatigue. Regular tests are therefore indispensable. The iX-600 portable inspection system from UNX ...

Researchers have found in a new study that flowable short fiber–reinforced resin composite demonstrated significantly higher ...

Damage mechanics of composite materials is concerned with the various damage mechanisms, their evolution under thermomechanical loading, and their effect on the elastic, failure, and fatigue behavior ...

Highly developed universal testing machines and custom testing systems are of use in running tests and the determination of properties, for example breaking strength, ductility, elongation, fracture ...

This success marks the completion of the 19 months strength research and static fatigue test project on the C919 aircraft composite rear fuselage, one of C919 seven components. C919 composite aircraft ...

Although failure of material is not the only reason for bridge failures, it is a vital step for choosing the correct materials, the analysis of bridge design, and construction testing. Bridge members ...
