Creep and Stress Rupture testing evaluates the behavior of materials (plastics, metals, composites, and ceramics) under prolonged stress, and usually elevated temperatures to simulate conditions that ...
RAILWAY AGE, MARCH 2023 ISSUE: Welcome to “Timeout for Tech with Gary T. Fry, Ph.D., P.E.” Each month, we examine a technology topic that professionals in the railway industry have asked to learn more ...
Creeps are characterized as time-dependent permanent deformations that occur under constant stress at elevated temperatures. The material composition determines the onset of creep. For example, steel ...
ASTM published Standard E3499-25 for PIP testing, enabling faster mechanical property analysis in regulated manufacturing ...
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 new material may be the key to quickly flag damaged infrastructure. This material offers a way to reduce the manpower required to regularly monitor structures that undergo daily use such as bridges.
