Editor's Note: This story was updated to clarify in one instance that compressive stress is the force per unit area, not the force, acting inside an object. Originally published on Live Science.

Metamaterial with a twist Three-dimensional material converts linear compression forces into a rotation movement Date: December 1, 2017 Source: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Summary: Using 3-D ...

Their experiments revealed that compressive forces deforming the epithelial cell layer caused mechanical instability within the ECM layer, resulting in the formation of wrinkles.

This is the compressive force that binds together the layers, forming a strong shock absorber made of glass. Surface tension helps hold the drop together. Practical Applications.

With this compression tool, the clamping force is applied hydraulically and can be set via the pressure. For labs that regularly perform compression tests, this test tool offers excellent ...

Notched testing of composites refers to the testing of specimens with a centrally located, machined through-hole under a specified loading condition. Often referred to as open-hole tests, they were ...

Pasta platforms, egg-citing supports, and curious cups! Dr. Rob and the Crew “build” an understanding of the science of Structural Forces, including compression, shear, tension, and torsion ...

This video shows the testing of radial compression force of stents. Zwick offers a wide range of testing machines for the medical industry. Application areas include medical packaging, therapy systems ...
