President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

This video demonstrates the compression test performed on a little pumpkin using an Instron 250 kN universal testing machine. Instron compression testers are used to determine the compressive strength ...

Caption This image shows a representative cement micropillar sample imaged by scanning electron microscope. Samples like this one are key to the use of a 'micropillar compression' technique to ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Because composite structures are subjected to flexural loading in typical applications, it is not surprising that flexure testing of composites is commonly ...

Thermo-compression processing optimizes Cu/SiC composites, improving strength and toughness by improving particle ...
