This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. However, this relationship between stress and strain in a material is linear only when the force applied is within ...

Off-highway vehicles operate in conditions that challenge hard-working components and the materials they are made of. Those vehicles and ancillary equipment must withstand summers in the Australian ...

Cambridge Polymer Group, a Boston, MA based contract research laboratory specializing in polymers, contacted Bose® with the challenge of accurately determining the dynamic stiffness and modulus of a ...

In addition to being dependent on the fiber volume fraction, the Young's modulus of a uniaxial composite is dependent on the angle the fibers make with respect to the tensile stress direction. The ...

Mucic acid crystals grown from a water-based solution achieved a record-breaking stiffness for an organic crystal.

Batteries are widely used power sources that utilize electrochemical cells for powering various devices. Battery performance is impacted by intrinsic mechanisms of battery failure and degradation, ...

Elasticity is a property possessed by many solid materials, but the class of materials known as rubbers or elastomers possess a different property called high elasticity. This differs from ...

For transverse loading of the composite, the components experience the same stress and for this isostress situation the total transverse strain of the composite is just the sum of the fiber strain and ...
