Preparing flat specimens for tensile testing is often treated as routine. Yet the quality of this stage shapes the accuracy ...

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 accuracy and quality of results depends considerably on the cuts made to prepare a sample for tensile testing. It is very important to prepare a sample without nicks or jagged edges for accurate ...

Regardless of the type of mechanical test being performed on composite materials, load introduction into the test specimen is among the biggest challenges. Fiber-reinforced composites have relatively ...

Extensometry is the science of the measurement and analysis of changes in a materials linear dimensions during tensile testing. An extensometer is an instrument that measures test specimen elongation ...

The CIEST Laboratory successfully completed testing pipe liner samples for “apparent hoop tensile strength” as described in ASTM D2290. The method uses a split disk to apply tensile forces to a hoop ...
