What is a Tensile Test? A tensile test pulls (or stretches) a sample and, as a result, the extensibility/elongation and tensile strength properties are measured in ...

Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...

A Standard Test Method is a conclusive procedure that yields a test result. So as to achieve accurate and relevant test results, a standard test method is definite, unambiguous, and experimentally ...

Design-for-manufacturing (DFM) methodologies have taken center stage in the drive to improve yields in nanometer designs. Various techniques targeted at both the initial design and the manufacturing ...
