Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...

In response to limitations within material testing and simulation in early design stages for automotive/aviation composites, Forward Engineering GmbH has developed a modular approach to testing and ...

Engineers developed a way to quickly test metamaterial architectures and their resilience to supersonic impacts. They plan to use it to identify new metamaterial designs that could form the basis for ...

Under specific conditions, hydrogen can diffuse in metal, leaving a long-term effect on the material’s properties. Close investigation of the behavior of materials and components in hydrogen-rich ...
