As gadgets become thinner, lighter and more sustainable, accurate materials data matters more than ever. Faster testing ...

When engineers want to make a metal stronger, one of the most reliable strategies is to use smaller grains—the microscopic crystal regions within the material. But when deformed at extreme speeds, ...

Modern labs test metal strength faster than ever by replacing the slow machine-a-sample-and-pull-it-apart routine with automated systems and indentation-based methods that produce a full stress-strain ...

For the first time, a team of researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) quantified and rigorously studied the effect of metal strength on accurately modeling coupled metal/high ...

A new upper bound method combines a strength-differential work function with Coulomb friction to predict cylinder compression ...

Researchers have developed a clamp-based direct tensile testing procedure for short cylindrical rock cores and composite ...

Yield strength is the point at which a material, such as a metal, begins to deform under external stress. In materials engineering, accurately predicting yield strength is crucial for developing ...

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...
