Researchers have proposed a theory-based approach to characterize a class of metals that possess exotic electronic properties that could help scientists find other, similarly-endowed materials.

Dr Gao Shubo (left), a research fellow from NTU Singapore, and Dr Li Zhi, a scientist from Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research, the first and second authors respectively of a study ...

Small punch testing (SPT) has emerged as an indispensable technique for assessing the mechanical properties of materials using only tiny specimens. By utilising a miniature, disc‐shaped specimen ...

TESTS of metals with X-rays, as made at Watertown Arsenal, are of two classes: (a) radiographie tests in which photographic images of internal details of the gross structure are obtained and (b) ...

Two recent papers (Proc. I. Mech. E., 151, No. 2; 1944) deal with the properties of materials, and are of particular interest. "A Renaissance of Mechanical Properties", by Sq.-Leader A. C. Vivian, is ...

Mechanical testing is a way of testing and measuring the properties of materials. Machines/instruments are available to test materials or finished products in a range of different ways including ...

A team of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology has developed a new process that could help gain new insights into high-entropy alloys and help characterize their properties. High-entropy ...

ASTM D 695 1, “Compressive Properties of Rigid Plastics,” defines the end-loading compression test method familiar to the composites community. It was introduced by ASTM Committee D20-Plastics more ...
