President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Fiber-reinforced composite structures are designed with fibers positioned to carry tensile loads in desired in-plane orientations, so why is interlaminar tensile ...

The in-plane strength properties of a composite material, axial and transverse tension and compression and in-plane shear, are usually the first to be considered in design. However, ...

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 ...

The physical properties of plastic materials are a vital part of product design and quality control. As a result of this, numerous materials tests are carried out. The most rudimentary of these tests ...
