Creeps are characterized as time-dependent permanent deformations that occur under constant stress at elevated temperatures. The material composition determines the onset of creep. For example, steel ...

CMCs are made up of two major components: a reinforcing material for strength and stiffness and a matrix material to hold the composite together. CMCs have both ceramic reinforcement and matrix. This ...

Dynamic Systems Inc. launches UHTC system for high-temperature testing of non-conductive materials, collaborating with The University of Alabama. Dynamic Systems Inc. (DSI), a subsidiary of Vishay ...

Carbon fiber-reinforced ultra-high-temperature ceramic (UHTC) matrix composites are extensively used in space shuttles and high-speed vehicles. However, these composites suffer from a lack of ...

A German research team has investigated the use of zeotropic fluid mixtures as the working fluid in high-temperature heat pumps (HTHP). Zeotropic mixtures consist of two or more fluids with varying ...
