Compression testing is used to determine how a product or material reacts when it is compressed, squashed, crushed or flattened by measuring fundamental parameters that determine the specimen behavior ...

Experimental data for ice 14 and rock 15 suggest that axial splitting is suppressed when the length of the secondary cracks is less than the size of the primary crack h ⩽ 2c, implying that R ≳≈ 0.05 ...

Lithium-ion batteries are a kind of rechargeable battery that is charged or discharged through desorption or insertion of lithium ions (Li +) from or into the active material structure. In recent ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

Thiaw, D. , Wade, A. , Sall, M. , Diouf, S. and Dieye, G. (2026) Utilization of Eggshells Waste as an Additive to Improve the Mechanical Properties of Clays. Journal of Minerals and Materials ...

Defects can occur naturally during composite fabrication, and damage can be induced by impacts in service, but these tend to be relatively uncontrolled events. It was desired to induce an easily ...

This is a note on the compressive modulus of elasticity of Gap Pad materials, including the variability in compressive modulus values, the constant rate of strain relaxation modulus, and compression ...

Carefully controlled post-sintering deformation proves key to boosting strength while preserving ductility in Cu-SiC materials used for thermal and electrical ...

As structures made of metal get smaller - as their dimensions approach the micrometer scale (millionths of a meter) or less - they get stronger. Scientists discovered this phenomenon 50 years ago ...
