Material or structural failures are typically the result of two types of loading modes: a single (static) load that results in failure or a repeated (cyclic) load that causes the material or structure ...

FINDLAY, Ohio—Endurica L.L.C., a characterization and software simulation company that specializes in fatigue testing, has introduced automatic block cycle generation for its patented Endurica CL ...

Extremely thin ceramic coatings can completely change the properties of technical components. Coatings are used, for example, to increase the resistance of metals to heat or corrosion. Coating ...

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 ...

Surface abrasion is a key predictor of long-term failure. Pilling at 10,000 cycles often predicts cracking, flaking, or delamination at 20,000–50,000 cycles. Pilling reduces slip resistance. A pilled ...

This video provides a complete explanation on how to perform a fracture toughness test to assess resistance to fatigue pre-crack. Huntsman operates an ISO 17025 accredited testing facility for ...
