In my January 2019 column, I discussed methods to determine whether properties obtained from mechanical testing of composites are correct — or even reasonable. One of the methods focused on comparing ...

"Unlike conventional approaches in which materials with desired intrinsic properties are integrated to add functionality, this research introduces the concept of integrating nanopatterns and shows ...

Forward Engineering GmbH walks through a modular testing and simulation approach designed to enable more accurate material ...

When two or more different materials or elements are combined, a composite material is created. The composite material has special qualities that set it apart from its separate constituents due to the ...

Can the properties of composite materials be predicted? Scientists have mastered this feat and thus can help achieve research objectives faster. This leads, for instance, to better recycling ...

3D printers see frequent use in industrial applications and in-home use by hobbyists due to their ability to construct an array of three-dimensional molded objects. The most common choice of molding ...

For quadratic regression on the hypercube, a single-number criterion, such as a G efficiency that is based on the prediction variance, is often included as one of the criteria when selecting a ...

The environmentally-conscious composite flax fiber can very nearly match the strength-to-weight properties of carbon fiber.

A research team from the South China University of Technology has developed an innovative statistical modeling approach that accelerates the development of advanced rare-earth-doped laser ...
