We report that the metallized single nanofibers could be successfully prepared by a combined technique of electrospinning and metallization. The mechanical properties of the metallized single nanofibers were investigated by using recently developed tensile test machine. It was found that the metallized single (polyurethane and polystyrene) nanofibers exhibited higher mechanical properties depending on the thickness of the deposited metal layers. For instance, compared with pure PU single nanofibers (Young`s modulus ca. 170 MPa), Young`s modulus for the metallized PU single nanofibers with Cu layers of 30 nm and 50 nm were increased to ca.610 MPa and ca.750 MPa, respectively. Furthermore, the tensile strength of 50 nm Cu-deposited PS single nanofibers (ca. 3.27 GPa) was clearly higher than those of pure PS (ca. 0.76 GPa) and 30 nm Cu-deposited PS (ca. 3.09 GPa) single nanofibers. The results may be attributed to the formation of metallic hard-coating layers onto the surface of single nanofibers.

PP/clay nanocomposites samples of 1st and 2nd cycles (recycle) and different nanoclay loadings (i.e. 0, 5, 10, 15 wt%) samples were made by utilizing twin-screw extruder and injection molding machine. The samples were then characterized using a tensile test machine. The tensile tests results showed that modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of the nanocomposites samples for both 1st and 2nd cycles were all higher than the neat PP, and increased with increasing nanoclay loadings. The enhancements of modulus of elasticity (as compared to the neat PP) for 1st cycle of the nanocomposites were about 38.08%, 49.33%, and 78.65% for NC-5-I, NC-10-I, and NC-15-I, respectively. Whereas, for the 2nd cycle of the nanocomposites were about 44.33%, 59.59%, and 84.69% for NC-5-II, NC-10-II, and NC-15-I, respectively. This indicated that the incorporation of nanoclay in the PP matrix significantly increased mechanical properties, especially modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of the nanocomposites. Additionally, values of modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of 1st cycle and 2nd cycle of PP/clay nanocomposites were compared by plotting them in two graphs. The plots revealed that reprocessing of the nanocomposites did not significantly influence the mechanical properties of the nancomposites.

Currently the development trend of composite materials shifts to the reuse of natural fiber (back to nature) as a substitute for synthetic fibers. Measurement of the mechanical properties of fiber (reinforcement) plays an important role in quality control. One of the most important mechanical properties of fiber is its tensile strength. Tensile strength of fiber can be known through tensile test (tensile test). To do tensile test (tensile test) fiber required tensile test machine (tensile test machine). The tensile test equipment used today is a foreign-made commercial tensile test device imported at an exorbitant price. These conditions cause obstacles in the development of basic industries and natural fiber technology. Most laboratories in higher education institutions and other technology research institutions do not have tensile test equipment support. The purpose of this research is to design a natural fiber tensile test apparats which is cheap and easy to operate. The research method using design tool design (design and manufacture). The result of this research is prototype of natural fiber tensile test which has been successfully tested with technical data: 5N loading capacity, calibration curve accuracy: N = 1.052 V and loading rate 0.014 N/s. The result of tensile test to one natural fiber that used abaca fiber obtained the value of tensile strength of an average of 579,90 MPa. The result of tensile test obtained is comparable with the data of tensile test results in existing literatures then there is conformity with the value of tensile strenght. The results of this study are expected to provide benefits for researchers, academics and industry in supporting the development of national natural fiber industry to increase the competitiveness of industries at the international level.

Laminated veneer lumber is taken as an object of study, and use LVL specimens of different sizes for compression test and tensile test. The goal of the experiment is to investigate the size effect on compressive strength and tensile strength as well as the influence of the secondary glued laminated face, which appears in the secondary molding processes. The results show that both compressive strength and tensile strength have the size effect apparently and the existence of the secondary glued laminated face lower the compressive strength of LVL specimens. Afterwards, the relationship between compressive strength and volume along with tensile strength and area are obtained by the test results.

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) have much interest in engineering applications. However, the mechanical properties of MREs are still under ongoing researches. This paper presents the results from tensile test, hardness and rebound test that were carried out in order to understand the mechanical properties of MRE with the influence of carbon black content. The addition of carbon black was varied with the amount of 20 pphr, 40 pphr and 60 pphr of carbon black. The development of the MRE composites was manufactured by following the conventional rubber compounding process. The optimum cure of each MRE composite was determined by using a Rheometer 100. The mechanical properties through tensile test were obtained by using an Instron Tensile Machine, meanwhile hardness and resilience were carried out by using Wallace Dead Load Hardness and Dunlop Tripsometer, respectively. The results of tensile strength were not consistent with the addition of carbon black. In meantime, hardness value increases as the carbon black increases. The decreasing pattern of MRE resilience could be observed when the carbon black content increases.

In this paper, near net shape casting technology was used to manufacture Cr12MoV steel die modified using RE-Ti. The samples with different RE(rare earth)-Ti content were fabricated by using the induction furnace. The microstructure of the samples was analyzed by using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. Electronic universal tensile test machine, pendulum impact tester and rockwell apparatus were utilized to test the mechanical properties of the samples. The results show that after RE-Ti compound modification, the distribution and morphology of carbide are improved, and with the Ti increase, the impact toughness significantly increases, and tensile strength has a slight increase, but hardness is almost unchanged. When Ti content is 0.6%, the impact toughness and tensile strength are 14.9 J/cm2 and 634 MPa, respectively, reaching or approaching to the mechanical properties of the forged Cr12MoV steel.

This study reported about mechanical properties and fracture surface of ramie fiber reinforced tapioca starch based biocomposites. The amount of fibers in matrix was kept constant at 10% from dry weight starch basis. Fabrication of biocomposites was solution casting. The effect of vibration duration from ultrasonic bath was 0, 15, 30, and 45 min. This treatment was applied to biocomposites while gelatinized. Tensile test was carried out to determine the mechanical properties of biocomposites. Fracture surface of biocomposites after tensile test was observed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The result shows that, tensile strength increased when vibration time was added. The maximum tensile strength was obtained at 45 min vibration time with 2,84 MPa. This phenomenon was supported by SEM observation which indicate compact structure. Keywords: Tapioca starch, ramie fiber, biocomposites, mechanical properties, SEM

The mechanical properties, among all the properties of plastic materials, are often the most important properties because virtually all service conditions and the majority of end-use applications involve some degree of mechanical loading [1]. In the present work three different commercial polyethylene materials are tensile tested at four or five different tensile rates and two or three temperatures. Tensile test results against tensile rate include stress at 0.5 % elongation, tensile strength, yield strength, modulus of elasticity, elongation at yield and % elongation are determined. It is concluded that the structure, chain lengths and branching rates of polymer matrix significantly effected tensile test curve characteristic.
