In my May 2020 CW column, I introduced a new test method for measuring the fracture toughness within the facesheet-to-core interface region of sandwich composites. This proposed test method, referred ...

This webinar will be an overview of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and fatigue testing methods and will give examples of non-tire applications (including silicone applications) where these test ...

In a first for the construction industry, researchers have developed a virtual vibration test rig (VTR) capable of simulating the fatigue life of dozer push arms with unprecedented accuracy. This ...

Major improvements on steel or fibre cord & fabrics are required to answer the challenging improvements on tire rolling resistance, performance and manufacturing cost. Because of short time-to-market ...

Mechanical parts are more frequently subjected to cyclic loads than solely static loads. Fatigue issues are commonly observed in turbine blades, aerospace components, locomotive systems, large ...

Peter Bailey, Senior Applications Specialist for Instron Dynamic Systems, talks to AZoM about the benefits and applications of composites fatigue testing and how Instron's unique Specimen Self-Heating ...
