Understanding radiation-induced plastic flow in amorphous silica glass is vital for glass science and technology, and for decades it has been studied using high-energy ions and particles. However, ...

Currently, the rebound hammer is widely used for estimation of compressive strength of concrete as general testing method. Although rebound hammer has made great contribution for compressive strength ...

Scientists have expanded on a longstanding model governing the mechanics behind slip banding, a process that produces strain marks in metals under compression, gaining a new understanding of the ...

When choosing a method for monitoring the compressive strength of concrete, it’s important for project managers to consider the impact each technique will have on their schedule. While some testing ...

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 ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. When used for material comparisons, notched testing is typically performed using a quasi-isotropic composite laminate, consisting of equal numbers of 0°, 45°, ...
