President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Although less commonly measured than the in-plane tensile properties of a unidirectional (UD) composite, interlaminar tensile strength is an important material ...

A composite material is tabbed prior to testing, typically, for one of two reasons: to protect the material from damage from applied loads during the test or to increase the area of the loading region ...

Tendons are designed to take tensile load, but excessive load can cause overuse tendinopathy. Overuse tendinopathy results in extensive changes to the cells and extracellular matrix, resulting in ...

Summarises key recent research in the areas of understanding the response mechanisms of concrete under tensile conditions Offers a summary of the most important parameters that affect the tensile ...
