Scientists and engineers at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory plan to speed up the process of designing, testing and optimizing new metal-alloy components for defense industry customers — ...

Materials scientists have been enchanted by the search for new materials that exceed the temperature capability of Ni-based superalloys for many decades. High melting point and solidus temperatures ...

In my January 2019 column, I discussed methods to determine whether properties obtained from mechanical testing of composites are correct — or even reasonable. One of the methods focused on comparing ...

Strength, ductility and toughness are three very important, closely related material properties. The yield and ultimate strengths tell us how much stress a material can withstand, and are often used ...

As light as possible and as strong as possible at the same time. These are the requirements for modern lightweight materials, such as those used in aircraft construction and the automotive industry. A ...

An introductory course focused on the new and existing materials that are crucial for mitigating worldwide anthropogenic CO2 emissions and associated greenhouse gases. Emphasis will be placed on how ...

Vibration-absorbing, sound-damping materials such as sheets of rubber and expanded foam tend to be thick, bulky and soft. A new material is a big exception to that tendency, however, as it absorbs ...

This is information整理ed about composite geomembranes, hoping it can help everyone. Composite geomembranes are engineering materials made from polymer materials combined with geotextiles, widely used ...

A research team from the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at the University of Hong Kong's LKS Faculty of Medicine ...

Scientists are looking at ways to incorporate strengthened wood into new buildings to increase their sustainability. In Japan ...
