This video illustrates the tensile testing on high-strength yarns with ZwickRoell’s materials testing machine. This single column testing machine is ideal for compression, cyclic and tensile testing ...

Plastics compounders routinely perform mechanical tests as part of the product development cycle. Producers often turn to universal testing machines (UTMs) to pull, stretch, bend or compress test ...

In this interview AZoM speaks to Matt Mahier from Instron about tire testing, the applications and solutions. How many materials typically go in to making a tire? Tires can seem simple on the surface, ...

Back in April 2015, my CW column focused on the two ASTM standardized test methods used for measuring the through-the-thickness, or interlaminar, tensile strength of composite laminates. Despite their ...

As composite materials are used more extensively in structural applications, some test methods that once were considered very specialized and, therefore, not widely used, have become more significant.
