Compression-compression fatigue behavior of a glass fibercloth reinforcement epoxy composite at 300K and 77K is discussed in terms of the temperature (T) — cycles to failure (N) relationship, reliability, and damage initiation and growth. Some of the findings are as follows: the stress amplitude and number of cycles to...

To find the electrical resistivity of a metallic wire, one begins by measuring the potential difference V across a length of the wire L, when a current I is passed through it. According to Ohm’s Law, the ratio V/I is the electrical resistance R of the wire. In the general case, R is a tensor--that is, its value depends...

Friction is the resistance to movement of contacting surfaces. Wear is the surface degradation and material loss that result from mechanical interaction. Friction and wear are closely associated, but there is no direct relationship. Thus, high friction implies high wear, but the conditions leading to minimum friction f...

Interlaminar shear (ILS) strength is the load-carrying capacity of a layered filamentary composite under shear forces parallel to the layers. The term “strength” is commonly applied to a material. Actually, it is the property of a structure made from that material. A strength test is a structural test. By convention, h...
