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 ...

Silicon nitride-based ceramics present excellent thermal and mechanical properties and compete with traditional refractory materials for resistance to corrosive media and highly fluctuating thermal ...

Toray Industries, Inc. announced that it has developed Torayca™ M46X carbon fibre. The new offering is around 20% stronger than others in the Torayca™ MX series while maintaining a high tensile ...

(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 ...

Pressure volume curves for Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb. (alligator weed) grown in 0 to 400 millimolar NaCl were used to determine water potential (Ψ), osmotic potential ($\psi _{s}$), ...

This article will go over some basic background about tensile strength of material and then discuss historic material strength improvement to understand what industrial production of new carbon ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The responses to water stress of the bulk modulus of elasticity (ε) and the apoplastic water fraction were examined using six sunflower ...
