This video shows Zwick Roell’s three-point flexure test on sandwich paper material. The three-point flexure tests are usually carried out using Zwick’s 5 kN tensile testing machine. Using ASTM D ...

Universal testing machines (UTMs) that test mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, compressive and shear are among the most commonly used instruments plastics compounders are likely to buy ...

In my January 2024 column, I reported on a new ASTM test method for use in assessing the damage tolerance of sandwich composites under compression loading: the sandwich compression-after-impact (CAI) ...

Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...
