Materials researchers have created a new composite material that combines two incompatible properties: stiff yet with a high damping capacity. Oscillations and vibrations damage machines and buildings ...

Her work has given rise to the creation of materials that comprise layers of stiff materials connected by ultra-thin rubber-like layers formed by crosslinking a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS ...

The best thing about Byloom cottons is that they drape so well; they don’t fluff out like usual stiff Bengal cottons ... Everyone (and their mothers) have gone to Nalli to shop for sarees and dress ...

A new material is a big exception to that tendency, however, as it absorbs vibrations while staying stiff and thin. Ordinarily, if you want to build a structure which is strong and unyielding yet ...

Her work has given rise to the creation of materials that comprise layers of stiff materials connected by ultra-thin rubber-like layers formed by crosslinking a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mixture.

Based on simulations, ETH materials researchers have developed a composite material that combines both these properties. This consists of layers of a stiff material in combination with super-thin ...

Stiffness is the resistance of a material to deformation when a force is applied to it. It is also known as the elastic modulus or Young's modulus, and it is measured in units of pressure ...

How can you evaluate the strength and stiffness of different materials and compare them for your chassis design? Here are some of the best ways to do that. The first step is to understand the ...

EPS and other similarly stiff materials hold up to considerable pressure. Many highly compressive foams cannot recover from applied pressure. Other highly compressive materials have good memory ...
