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 ...

Thanks to a new strategy in the development of materials related to steel, high strength and ductility are no longer mutually exclusive. For the steel industry, there may be a way out of the dilemma ...

Stress is defined as the force per unit area. Thus, the formula for calculating stress is: Where σ denotes stress, F is load and A is the cross sectional area. The most commonly used units for stress ...

As light as possible and as strong as possible at the same time. These are the requirements for modern lightweight materials, such as those used in aircraft construction and the automotive industry. A ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have figured out how to capture and predict the strength of metallic materials subjected to cycling loading, or fatigue strength, in a matter ...
