Tensile testing is less common than compression testing, partly because it is more difficult to grip/hold the sample in such a manner that a tensile load can be applied without the sample breaking at ...

Methods for interlaminar tensile testing of composites: A comparative evaluation Dr. Daniel O. Adams, professor of mechanical engineering and director of the Composite Mechanics Laboratory at the ...

The tensile strength is obtained by simply dividing the peak load observed during the test by the cross-sectional area of the sample. The foam tensile strength test is similar to testing other ...

The CIEST Laboratory successfully completed testing pipe liner samples for “apparent hoop tensile strength” as described in ASTM D2290. The method uses a split disk to apply tensile forces to a hoop ...

Composite testing challenges, Part 1: Introduction to mechanical testing of composites A range of standardized mechanical tests for complex composites are available and still under development for ...
