Creeps are characterized as time-dependent permanent deformations that occur under constant stress at elevated temperatures. The material composition determines the onset of creep. For example, steel ...

In 1985, Pratt & Whitney (East Hartford, CT) commissioned an outside systems house to develop a proprietary computer-based creep system, ACTS (Automated Creep Test System). Written in Fortran and ...

High-temperature creep and oxidation-resistant metallic alloys are pivotal in various high-performance applications, ...

Hysitron nanoDMA III from Bruker is the latest powerful dynamic testing method to perform nanoscale mechanical property measurements. nanoDMA III is fitted with the recently developed CMX control ...

When first introduced to mechanical testing of composite materials, one can be confused, even overwhelmed, by the number of available test standards. One reason for this large variety of tests is the ...

In my July 2005 column, a new ASTM standard shear test method was introduced 1. At that time, I raised the question, Why do we need another shear test method for composite materials?, with the promise ...

Q: What happens when we attach a very heavy weight to a wire at relatively low temperature? A: The wire snaps right away! Q: What happens when we hang a lighter weight from the wire at a higher ...
