A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

A research team has created a bulk copper-based alloy that, to date, has the greatest tensile elastic strain at room temperature. Metals are elastic, meaning they can return to their original shape ...

SAE International Journal of Materials and Manufacturing, Vol. 5, No. 2 (June 2012), pp. 517-527 (11 pages) ABSTRACT Three established mechanical test specimen geometries and test methods used to ...

(Nanowerk News) The realistic mechanical properties of monolayer graphene have been successfully studied by a new method developed by a research team led by Dr Lu Yang, Associate Professor of ...
