As the composite industry shifts toward a circular economy, manufacturers face a dual challenge: integrating nontraditional feedstocks while maintaining high-performance output. This session explores ...
Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...
Composite materials, whether for use in high performance structures or in commodity applications, present many unique mechanical testing problems. Thus, this two-day seminar will be directed toward ...
