French engineers have developed a ceramic composite that is roughly 10 times tougher than ...

Fracture toughness testing of geological materials underpins reliable assessment of rock resistance to crack initiation and propagation in contexts ranging from civil engineering to volcanic hazard ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a 3D-printed concrete composite with alternating layers of mortar and polymer, enhancing mechanical ...

Partners Avanco Composites, Poppe + Potthoff GmbH and Aspens GmbH joined in commissioning a full H2 powertrain, validating the TCU’s sensor acquisition, safety intervention and CAN-based communication ...

Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel (CrCoNi). Not only is the metal extremely ...

The alloy, known as CrCoNi, is an example of a high entropy alloy (HEA), which – unlike alloys in use today – contains equal proportions of its constituent elements. HEAs were first developed ~20 ...
