Flexural strength and stiffness are not basic material properties. They are the combined effects of a material’s basic tensile, compressive and shear properties. That is, when a flexural loading is ...

Static flexural testing has long been conducted because it is a simple method for evaluating all types of materials. Static flexural testing of composite materials, in particular, was discussed in my ...

Universal testing machines outfitted with bend fixtures are used in calculating flexural strength, flexural modulus, yield point, and more. This article will explore the requisite equipment for ...

An aircraft or hydrofoil wing behaves as a cantilever beam from a structural viewpoint. Structures of this sort have a "flexural center" associated with them. If they are loaded at the flexural center ...

A team of British researchers has recently completed a study evaluating the success rates of a novel technique they developed to treat congenital flexural deformities in young foals, with promising ...

Researchers have found that mixing jute fibers with bacteria can make concrete stronger and more durable—offering a greener, low-cost way to fight cracks and wear over time.

As a leading manufacturer of FRP composites, Strongwell adheres to hundreds of engineering standards. ASTM D790 is among the most utilized specifications in the plastics industry. In this article, ...
