Compression tests are used to characterize various compressive properties such as the compression modulus and compressive strength. They are performed on fiber-reinforced composites with ...

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...

I noted in a 2005 column (see "Current compression test methods" under “Editor's Pick,” at top right) that there are three basic methods of loading a composite material test specimen in compression: ...

The failure of a weak layer which lies underneath a more cohesive planar slab, is responsible for slab avalanche initiation. The weak layer may fail under combined effect of shear and compressive ...

SAE International Journal of Engines, Vol. 11, No. 6 (2018), pp. 643-656 (14 pages) In this work, various techniques are numerically investigated to assess and quantify their relative effectiveness in ...
