Composite construction, which optimises the complementary strengths of materials such as steel and concrete, has become a mainstay in modern engineering. Central to these systems are shear connection ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In addition to mechanical tests used to determine material properties of composite materials, tests to determine structural properties are commonly performed on ...

As composite materials are used more extensively in structural applications, some test methods that once were considered very specialized and, therefore, not widely used, have become more significant.

The Polymer Industry continues to grow and questions arise concerning connections between composites and other materials such as metals, wood, concrete or plastics. In this interview, Stephen Browning ...
