Off-highway vehicles operate in conditions that challenge hard-working components and the materials they are made of. Those vehicles and ancillary equipment must withstand summers in the Australian ...

Toray Industries, Inc. announced that it has developed Torayca™ M46X carbon fibre. The new offering is around 20% stronger than others in the Torayca™ MX series while maintaining a high tensile ...

In the realm of nanomechanical techniques, AFM is ideally suited to measuring soft materials because of its sub-nanometer vertical displacement accuracy and piconewton force resolution. One of the ...

Researchers have demonstrated the ability to engineer materials that are both stiff and capable of insulating against heat. This combination of properties is extremely unusual and holds promise for a ...

Hexcel will showcase innovative advanced lightweight material technologies at METSTRADE including new intermediate and high modulus fibre HexPly® M79 prepregs and present example high-performance ...

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

While most metals feature some degree of elasticity, some respond better than others to being bent out of shape. Scientists experimenting with the makeup of these materials have developed a novel, ...

The study, led by Dr. Cheng-Hui Li from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Nanjing University, and Dr. Pengfei Zheng from the Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, ...

AFM is particularly well-suited to working with soft materials in the field of nanomechanical measurements, owing to its piconewton force resolution and sub-nanometer vertical displacement accuracy.
