At its core,additive manufacturingis defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) as "the process of joining materials to make parts from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer." This proces
Usually when you hear the term “stiffness” in strength training you conjure up negative associations, for example tight muscles, poor posture, and restricted movement. Another type of stiffness can occur when you encounter something like this (see pic) but that kind of stiffness is not appropri...
The chemical composition of a material is a significant driver of its performance. A few atoms of aluminum in a titanium alloy can drastically change stiffness and yield strength. Measuring the atomic composition of an alloy under development or in production with the appropriate type of spectrometer...
With machine tools, the moving part is not moving on the table.Strictly speaking, the table is deformed by the weight of the moving part. While the actual impact is extremely small, in some cases the machining precision may decrease. On the other hand, dynamic stiffness is stiffness when ...
Required Characteristics:These include impact strength, resistance to chemicals and solvents, paintability, weatherability, stability, heat deflection, creep and stiffness. The material must also provide hot strength and flow characteristics to create a structurally functional part that is cosmetically appeali...
Carbon fiber is inert, insensitive to temperature, and provides excellent protection in hostile industrial environments. Carbon fiber is the ideal material for maximizing stiffness with very low mass for CMM styli above 50 mm in length.CMM probes and sensors Accessories for CMMs Buy CMM ...

Composite materials are engineered by fusing different materials, typically consisting of a matrix (a polymer, metal, or ceramic) and a reinforcement (such as fibers, particles, or flakes) that provides strength and stiffness. The interaction between these components results in composite materials with...
the pressure of gases, known as pneumatic pressure, or liquids, also calledhydraulicpressure. PSI is also used as a measure of tensile strength, defined asresistanceto pulling forces, and elastic modulus strength, defined as resistance to deformation, which controls the stiffness of materials. ...
They maintain their crosslinked structure even at high temperatures and are characterized by high strength and stiffness. Under stress, they are subject to brittle fracture (example: epoxy resins). Elastomers, often referred to as rubbers, are chemically crosslinked polymers. They are considerably less...
