Ideally, steels and steel-related alloys should be capable of both properties: they should not fragment, for example during processing in a mill or as car bodies involved in an accident. In other ...

This article will go over some basic background about tensile strength of material and then discuss historic material strength improvement to understand what industrial production of new carbon ...

The attainment of both strength and toughness is a vital requirement for most structural materials; unfortunately these properties are generally mutually exclusive. Although the quest continues for ...

When contemplating the use of perforated metal, the ability to offer a preferred level of strength can be very significant. If it is known that perforated metal is not as robust as non-perforated ...

The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have figured out how to capture and predict the strength of metallic materials subjected to cycling loading, or fatigue strength, in a matter ...

Graphene is the strongest material in the world, according to new experiments done by researchers at Columbia University in the US. The secret to the material’s extraordinary strength, says the team, ...

Scientists were able to fabricate a pure form of glass and coat specialized pieces of DNA with it to create a material that was not only stronger than steel, but incredibly lightweight. Working on the ...

Engineers at Monash University have developed a new 3D-printable titanium alloy with a unique microstructure that makes it ultra-strong. Not only is it stronger than most other forms of titanium, but ...

In a groundbreaking study published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts, researchers Eva Pasquier and Jost Ruwoldt from RISE PFI AS in Norway have demonstrated that Kraft lignin can ...
