This video illustrates a flexural test performed on a fiber-reinforced concrete beams using a universal testing machine from ADMET. ASTM C1609 is a standard test method used to determine the flexural ...
Understanding how helical, curved beams operate — how their spiral cuts accommodate angular and parallel misalignment, axial motion, and system vibrations — is the key to knowing how they will perform ...
In my January 2024 column, I reported on a new ASTM test method for use in assessing the damage tolerance of sandwich composites under compression loading: the sandwich compression-after-impact (CAI) ...
Back in April 2015, my CW column focused on the two ASTM standardized test methods used for measuring the through-the-thickness, or interlaminar, tensile strength of composite laminates. Despite their ...
