My March column addressed flexural test methods for composite materials. I noted that the details presented in the various available national and international standards were not mutually consistent ...

Flexural strength and stiffness are not basic material properties. They are the combined effects of a material’s basic tensile, compressive and shear properties. That is, when a flexural loading is ...

Universal testing machines outfitted with bend fixtures are used in calculating flexural strength, flexural modulus, yield point, and more. This article will explore the requisite equipment for ...

With a simple sample geometry, a 3-point-bend test can be used to obtain stress-strain behavior, elastic modulus in bending (flexural modulus), and failure limits in bending. The standards ASTM E855, ...

BixForm(TM) HiMod Moldable Plastic Sheet is formable under 170 degree tap water or by using hot air and can be formulated to achieve up to a half million flex modulus. Click here for high-resolution ...
