The present study investigates the flexural failure properties of a hybrid laminate beam subjected to three-point bending. A symmetrically laminated hybrid beam is constructed using high-strain and ...

A precise determination of the mechanical properties of single fibres is important to produce optimised textiles, composite materials, and emerging technologies 1,2,3,4. There are a number of methods ...

My March column addressed flexural test methods for composite materials. I noted that the details presented in the various available national and international standards were not mutually consistent ...

Universal testing machines outfitted with bend fixtures are used in calculating flexural strength, flexural modulus, yield point, and more. This article will explore the requisite equipment for ...

Microscopists often wish – and intuit – that the microstructures that they measure correlate somehow to bulk properties. However, this correlation can be hard to measure. Machine learning, in ...
