Strength, ductility and toughness are three very important, closely related material properties. The yield and ultimate strengths tell us how much stress a material can withstand, and are often used ...

"Strength" can have many meanings ... of weight needed to stretch the material depends on the size of the material (and of course the properties of the material), comparison between materials can be ...

Mechanical properties of materials constitute another major direction in SYNL, especially on strength-ductility synergy and fatigue of materials. Several mechanical modes have been proposed or ...

Students test a piece of aluminum foil, plastic from a zip-closing plastic bag, and copierpaper to learn about some of their properties. Students conduct tests on the materials and then help design a ...

Researchers from the University of Toronto have used 3D printing to create nano-architected materials that are both strong ...

In a new paper published in Advanced Materials ... how they made nanomaterials with properties that offer a conflicting combination of exceptional strength, light weight and customizability.
