Plastics Compressive Strength Testing
Abstract: Compression test is a mechanical test that determines how much compressive force a material to resist before cracking. A gradually applied load compresses the test item, which is commonly in the shape of a square, pyramid, or cylinder, between the platens of a compression-testing machine. Many ductile metals, such as mild steel, have extremely high compression strength, yet measuring them is challenging. Whenever a load is given to a ductile …

A Model for Plastic-Hydrolytic Damage Bioresorbable Polymer Composites
Abstract: This paper explains and assesses a recently developed constitutive model for elastic-damage that may sustain plastic-hydrolytic damage. When a metallic material is subjected to plastic strain, voids and microcracks in the metal matrix start to form, develop, and merge. This is what causes ductilitydegradation in metals. Only a few of the many models that have been presented to depict ductile failure have done a thorough analysis of the entire damage …
