A concern in some practical applications of materials, including composites, is their ability to resist permanent deformation with time under load; to sustain a load when they are deformed by a fixed ...
Applied Test Systems takes pride in introducing the SIGMA Testing System, an evolutionary system for Creep and Stress Rupture testing. SIGMA is a groundbreaking step for WinCCS plus first- and ...
In 1985, Pratt & Whitney (East Hartford, CT) commissioned an outside systems house to develop a proprietary computer-based creep system, ACTS (Automated Creep Test System). Written in Fortran and ...
Although standardized test methods for fiber-reinforced composites are used for a wide variety of fiber forms, most of these test methods were developed with a focus on composites with continuous ...
