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 ...

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 ...

Defects can occur naturally during composite fabrication, and damage can be induced by impacts in service, but these tend to be relatively uncontrolled events. It was desired to induce an easily ...

Micropillar compression testing [1] is fast emerging as a viable alternative to nanoindentation, for the measurement of mechanical properties and deformation behavior of small volumes and thin films.

Although failure of material is not the only reason for bridge failures, it is a vital step for choosing the correct materials, the analysis of bridge design, and construction testing. Bridge members ...

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

Test compression has quickly moved from a luxury item for leading edge companies to a necessity for much of the mainstream market. This is because semiconductor companies manufacturing designs at ...
