If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...

Highly developed universal testing machines and custom testing systems are of use in running tests and the determination of properties, for example breaking strength, ductility, elongation, fracture ...

This dual experimental-numerical approach provides a rare, holistic view of bonded joint performance under ballistic loading, ...

A hydrogel engineered with cell-like particles mimicking skin tissue achieves 99.9% compressibility and ultralow energy loss ...

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...
