In my last column, I discussed uniaxial flexural strength testing of fiber-reinforced ceramics, that is, simple three- or four-point bending of a strip of material of rectangular cross section (see ...

Researchers have found in a new study that flowable short fiber–reinforced resin composite demonstrated significantly higher ...

It’s long been established that retained fiber length has a direct impact on mechanical properties of composites. Shown above, flexural modulus is plotted against notched Charpy impact strength for a ...

With a simple sample geometry, a 3-point-bend test can be used to obtain stress-strain behavior, elastic modulus in bending (flexural modulus), and failure limits in bending. The standards ASTM E855, ...

As a leading manufacturer of FRP composites, Strongwell adheres to hundreds of engineering standards. ASTM D790 is among the most utilized specifications in the plastics industry. In this article, ...
