Lithium-ion batteries are a kind of rechargeable battery that is charged or discharged through desorption or insertion of lithium ions (Li +) from or into the active material structure. In recent ...

Because composite material test specimens tend to be relatively thin, buckling prior to the desired failure mode is a concern when specimens are loaded in compression. Known as column buckling, but ...

Keywords: Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) materials. Seismic performance. Seismic strengthening. Retrofit. Infill panel systems. Abstract: The study presented in this MCEER report describes ...

Materials testing tests the accuracy and load capacity of materials in different environmental conditions. Materials testing is not only performed at research institutes, it also helps companies to ...

In my previous column, I discussed the influence of column buckling of the composite material test specimen on its measured compressive strength (see "Buckling of composite material compression ...
