  2. M5 fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M5_fiber

    M5 has a tensile strength of 4 GPa [1] to 9.5GPa. [2] Other aramids- (such as Kevlar and Twaron) or UHMWPE-fibres (such as Dyneema and Spectra) range from 2.2 to 3.9 GPa. [3]M5 has "very high levels" of fire resistance, flame retardancy, and chemical resistance, especially high for an organic fiber.

  3. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-molecular...

    LIROS Dyneema hollow. Dyneema and Spectra are brands of lightweight high-strength oriented-strand gels spun through a spinneret. They have yield strengths as high as 2.4 GPa (350,000 psi) and density as low as 0.97 g/mL (0.035 lb/cu in) (for Dyneema SK75). [12]

  4. Dyneema Composite Fabric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyneema_Composite_Fabric

    Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF), also known as Cuben Fiber (CTF3), is a high-performance non-woven composite material used in high-strength, low-weight applications. It is constructed from a thin sheet of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene ( UHMWPE , "Dyneema") laminated between two sheets of polyester .

  5. Specific modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_modulus

    To emphasize the point, consider the issue of choosing a material for building an airplane. Aluminum seems obvious because it is "lighter" than steel, but steel is stronger than aluminum, so one could imagine using thinner steel components to save weight without sacrificing (tensile) strength.

  6. Work hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_hardening

    Certain alloys are more prone to this than others; superalloys such as Inconel require materials science machining strategies that take it into account. For metal objects designed to flex, such as springs , specialized alloys are usually employed in order to avoid work hardening (a result of plastic deformation ) and metal fatigue , with ...

  7. Strengthening mechanisms of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strengthening_mechanisms...

    Strengthening of materials is useful in many applications. A primary application of strengthened materials is for construction. In order to have stronger buildings and bridges, one must have a strong frame that can support high tensile or compressive load and resist plastic deformation.

  8. Webbing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webbing

    The latter is stronger, but uses more webbing for the knot. It is customary to leave a few centimetres extending from the knot, and in many cases climbers tape the ends down onto the main loops. [3] Webbing is also less expensive than rope of similar size, particularly kernmantle rope, which requires elaborate and expensive manufacturing ...

  9. Superhard material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhard_material

    If a material contains highly directional bonds, the shear modulus will increase and give a low Poisson ratio. A material is also considered hard if it resists plastic deformation. If a material has short covalent bonds, atomic dislocations that lead to plastic deformation are less likely to occur than in materials with longer, delocalized bonds.
