based on a laboratory test, in fact, had the twofold tensile strength closer to the carbon steel. This finding then was patented in 1949 in USA as a year of Nodular Cast Iron (NCI) [1,2]. The graphite in nodular cast iron occupies 10-15% of total volume of materials and is evenly spread in the basic structure (matrix) resembling to the carbon steel. Hence, the mechanical properties of nodular cast iron can be directly correlated to the tensile strength and ductility of the matrix it owns as occurred in
2.1.8.4.2. Splitting tensile strength: The splitting tests are well known as indirect tests used for determining the tensile strength of concrete. And sometimes it is referred to as split tensile strength of concrete. The split tensile strength is a more reliable technique to evaluate tensile strength of concrete (lower coefficient of variation) compared to other methods. The split tensile strength specimen of 150 mm diameter and 300 mm or 150 x150 mm cube specimen are placed between two plates with

Title: Testing the strength of plant fibers Objectives: To develop knowledge and understanding of the strength of plant fiber in a plant stem. To develop problem solving and experimental skills, for example, information is accurately processed, using calculations where appropriate, experimental procedures are planned, designed and evaluated properly, the use of microscopes, producing valid results and recording results. To develop techniques of measuring the size of plant fibers under microscope
The objective of this lab is to illustrated the procedures required to perform tensile tests. Using data obtained from the test will enable the student to determine various material characteristics that affect the design process. Some findings/interpretations are the stress vs strain curve will help us show how the metal reacted to the forces applied, and the point of failure is very important as it is the ultimate strength. Introduction To test if a metallic material is viable candidate to be used
comprehensive study on carbon fibre reinforced plastics. The thermal behaviour and dynamic and tensile mechanical properties of polypropylene carbon fibres composites are discussed. Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic is similar to fibre glass which is woven into a textile material and resin such as epoxy resin is applied and allowed to cure. The resulting material is very strong and has the best strength to weight ratio of all construction materials. It is an improvement on glass fibre-reinforced plastic

And it was the largest luxurious ship in the world has shown the cost of wrong material selection, inappropriate design and unsuitable technology used. Even though a gigantic iceberg caused the titanic to sink inferior materials used in the applications, wrong reverts design, and in quality irons that used in application
ABSTRACT A tensile test is performed on a sample of 1045 normalized construction-grade steel using an Intron load frame. A graph of the engineering stress versus strain of the 1045 steel specimen is constructed from the data collected in the tensile test. Mechanical properties such as the ultimate strength, the fracture strength, and the Young’s modulus of the sample are obtained by further analyzing the stress versus strain graph. These experimental values are compared to the expected mechanical
1. Introduction Friction stir welding is a solid state welding process; this remarkable up-gradation of friction welding was invented in 1991 in The Welding Institute [1]. Figure 1 shows the schematic representation of the Friction Stir Welding process. The process starts with clamping the plates to be welded to a backing plate, so that the plates do not fly away during the welding process. A rotating wear resistant tool is plunged on the interface between the plates to a predetermined depth and
with desired properties. The objective of mechanical testing of composite is to determine the mechanical parameters such as strength and stiffness which is used to design and to find suitable application for the composite. These tests are performed according to ASTM standard procedure in a controlled environment. Mainly mechanical test include three basic tests that are: Tensile test Flexural test Impact test To perform this each test have certain specification which need to be satisfied, initially
Kevlar K-100, Kevlar K-119, Kevlar K-129, Kevlar AP and Kevlar KM2 for hockey sticks (DuPont, 2012). As example, Kevlar K-24: The mechanical properties of Kevlar K-24 based on thermal effect on tensile strength, young modulus and tensile strain. The reason Kevlar has high tensile strength and high tensile modulus is bonding interface between fibre and matrix was not strong enough to transfer stress between fibres and matrix. The other was that the fibres were damaged when exposed either intentionally
carbon fiber composites is that when it is compresses beyond its strength capabilities or exposed to high impact, it will break or shatter. (1) If stuck with a high force impact, like a hammer, the material will crack. (1) Machining and holes can also create weak areas that may increase its likelihood of breaking. (1) The reason carbon fiber will shatter instead of just deforming with high impact is the same reason it also has a high strength. Since it is made up of closely woven strands that are made
fiber-reinforced plastic that is tremendously strong. Depending on the binding polymer, CFPRs have a wide range of applications and are used when a light weight material with high rigidity and strength are required. Carbon fibers were discovered
aircrafts) and a good, specific strength and also water resistance, which may become a real threat if aircrafts run into dense could of any kind. However composites tend to be degraded by UV light. But you can counter act this by having them heavily pigmented. Sometimes composites can be manufactured in order to make them stronger in just a certain direction. Composites can be manufactured to be equal strength in all directions (isotropic) or have a lot of strength in one direction (anisotropic).

Carbon fiber can be used to make a composite material that has a low weight-to-strength ratio, high stiffness, high tensile strength, low thermal expansion, and high chemical resistance. Due to these properties, carbon fiber has many uses in the aerospace, automotive, and military industries. It also has many recreational applications. This project involves looking at the everyday uses of carbon fiber as well as the manufacturing process that goes into making a carbon fiber composite. Carbon fiber
subgrade underneath, the strength and the stability of the subgrade is very important key for the strong and stable Slab. Designers usually care for improving the underneath the Slab. The modulus of subgrade reaction is the conventional notation for the strength of the subgrade. It is also the key note in the design process for the Slab-on-Grade. The concrete industries progress showed that the concrete Slab-on-Grade can be modified to be stiffer and have a higher tensile strength. It may resist the changes

Nickel: Nickel increases strength to a modest extent but reduces ductility. The addition of nickel imparts resistance to softening at higher temperature but gives poor casting and machining characteristics. The addition of nickel to Al-Cu and Al-Si type alloy system improves hardness and strength at elevated temperature. It improves resistance to corrosion in powder metallurgy products. 6. Iron: It reduces cathodic
some bad ones. Most metals used are of high densities and heavy. So their application in some places is limited and also they are costly. Due to these problems new materials had to be looked for, materials that can show strong vitality, high tensile strength as metals, high volume, good stiffness, materials which can show resistance to corrosion and fatigue, materials which have excellent damping properties and finally an excellent overall curing forming process. Composite materials came out after
