My physics book has youngs modulus for only tungsten (35x10^10 N/m^2), steel (20x10^10 N/m^2), copper (11x11^10 N/m^2), brass (9.1x10^10 N/m^2), aluminum (7.0x10^10 N/m^2), glass (6.5-7.8x10^10 N/m^2) ...

Textile cords in a rubber matrix form a key class of composites, which are used in many different applications, including tires, hoses, shock isolators, and air springs, to name a few. Today’s ...

The modulus (indentation modulus) profiler was developed in 1987 by Gillen, Clough, and Quintana (Polymer Degradation and Stability 17 [1987] 31-47). The technique has a special resolution of about ...

When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

Amorim Cork Solutions explores how cork–rubber rail pads outperform rubber in vibration control, stability, and railway noise ...

Elasticity is a property possessed by many solid materials, but the class of materials known as rubbers or elastomers possess a different property called high elasticity. This differs from ...

In hard disk drives, digital information is stored and retrieved magnetically by a “read head” that flies over the disk within tens of nanometers of its surface. Figure 1 is a photograph of a read ...

A floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (FC-CVD) method was designed and fabricated to produce high quality and quantity carbon nanotubes. The design parameters like the hydrogen flow rate; ...

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 1941, Henry Ford unveiled a plastic-bodied car whose panels included soybean meal as component. The feat made headlines--and history--but the idea never took off commercially. However, researchers ...
