The primary purpose of the work presented herein is to investigate the mechanical properties of a lithium rechargeable battery cathode 1-3 by utilizing both the classic XP CSM and newer, ultrafast DCM ...

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 ...

A composite material is constructed from two or more components that are used as seperate phases, and combine in the final material to yield properties that exploit features of the components. In ...

Among the most common properties reported for fiber-reinforced polymers are those obtained from tensile testing of a unidirectional (UD) composite in the fiber direction. These properties include ...

Textile cords in a rubber matrix form a key class of composites, which are used in many different applications, including tires, hoses, shock isolators, and air springs, to name a few. Today’s ...
