Composite Materials
Composite Materials
A composite material (also called a composition material or shortened to composite, which is the common name) is a material which is produced from two or more constituent materials.

In materials science, a metal matrix composite (MMC) is a composite material with fibers or particles dispersed in a metallic matrix, such as copper, aluminum, or steel.

Tensile Test
Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength, breaking strength, maximum elongation and reduction in area
Compression Test
Compression test machines (CTM) are used to determine a material's strength under applied crushing loads, and are usually conducted by applying compressive pressure to a test specimen
ILSS Test
The interlaminar shear strength of laminates with a brittle matrix, for example, those made of epoxy resin, is typically determined using a short beam shear test (SBS)
Impact/Izod/Charpy
The Izod impact strength test is an ASTM standard method of determining the impact resistance of materials
Water Absorption
Water absorption test was carried out by immersion specimens in water bath at room temperature for a time duration
Micro Hardness
Microhardness Testing is a method of determining a material's hardness or resistance to deformation when test samples are not suitable for macro-hardness.
