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 ...

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 ...

The marine business of Gurit, has launched SE 84 Nano on the 29th of March 2011, a new high performance hot-melt epoxy prepreg incorporating 3M™ Matrix Resin. SE 84 Nano has been developed for marine ...

With more and more demanding requirement of customers on the mechanical performance of products, and as the price is very high for carbon fiber, aramid fiber, S2 and other high performance fiber; ...

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 ...

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, ...

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.
