Jaw Selection for Tensile Testing Grips
Tensile grip jaw selection plays an important role for successful mechanical tests as if specimen slippage between the jaws occurs or if the specimen breaks or tears in the jaw area testing may need to be discarded. This post covers the available jaw surface types for tensile grips and also the operation of quick-change type jaws.

Why are most 2D lattices hexagonal? The stability of 2D lattices predicted by a simple mechanics model
Published in Extreme Mechanics Letters: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eml.2019.100507. For more than half a century, physicists rejected the existence of two-dimensional (2D) materials since they theoretically underestimated the stability. However, the discovery of one-atom-thick graphene proved the inapplicability of this theory.
