Polyurethane foams developed for interior automotive applications were tested to determine their mechanical responses to uniform dynamic compression. Specimens 50x100x100 mm were compressed to 25%, 50 ...

Metagabbros with a transitional greenschist-amphibolite-facies mineralogy are exposed on the lower slopes of the eastern wall of the axial valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 06°N. These metagabbros ...

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.
