Toray Industries, Inc. announced that it has developed Torayca™ M46X carbon fibre. The new offering is around 20% stronger than others in the Torayca™ MX series while maintaining a high tensile ...

The ideal strength of a crystalline solid is defined as the maximum stress a perfect crystal lattice can withstand at 0 K 1,2. However, virtually no practical bulk materials survive under the ideal ...

When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...
