Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia have created a chitosan-nickel composite film that gains up to 50% more tensile strength when soaked in water, flipping the central ...

Steel is an alloy of carbon and iron, with the carbon content constituting two percent. Owing to its abundance and low cost of making, processing, and forming, steel has gained immense popularity as a ...

If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...

Plastometrex has introduced its new MultiScale capability to help users capture high-resolution mechanical property variation across thin, welded, and complex geometries that are typically ...
