ABSTRACT
Alternative computer systems used in the automation of tensile testing of textile materials are examined. Typical dedicated and time-shared systems are described. The relative merits of the two types of systems for various applications are discussed. A system that is being designed to fit a specific application is also described.

Mechanical characterization of post-buckled micro-bridge beams by micro-tensile testing
A micro-tensile testing system has been developed to measure the mechanical properties of post-buckled silicon dioxide micro-bridge beams. A kind of vernier-groove carrier is presented to improve alignment precision and repeatability of the measurement, ...
Cracking behavior of RC panels subject to biaxial tensile stresses
An analytical model which can simulate the post-cracking nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members such as bars and panels subject to uniaxial and biaxial tensile stresses is presented. The proposed model includes the description of biaxial ...
