Crystals are solids in which atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a regular and repeating pattern. Crystallography studies these structures and they are classified into seven major crystal systems: Of these, the monoclinic crystal structure is particularly important because it is relatively simple but has a unique axis tilt. It is neither as symmetric … Read more
A compression test is the most fundamental mechanical test used to determine a material’s compressive strength. This test measures the amount of stress a material can withstand when it is compressed in the axial direction. Compression testing is widely used in engineering, construction, and research. It is applied to materials such as concrete cubes, steel, … Read more
In the world of engineering and materials science, new materials are developed every year to make products and structures stronger, more durable, and lighter. Composite Materials are one of these.Today, the use of composite materials is rapidly increasing in almost every industry, be it aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, or sports. In this article, we will … Read more
