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 ...
Nanoporous metals made by dealloying 1, 2, 3 take the form of monolithic bodies consisting of an interconnected network of nanoscale ‘ligaments’ in a polycrystalline microstructure with typically 10 ...
Because composite material test specimens tend to be relatively thin, buckling prior to the desired failure mode is a concern when specimens are loaded in compression. Known as column buckling, but ...
