Bulk tensile testing is often used to measure a material’s elastic modulus, fracture-, yield- and ultimate-strength. Whilst bulk testing gives useful quantitative information on the overall mechanical ...

What is a Tensile Test? A tensile test pulls (or stretches) a sample and, as a result, the extensibility/elongation and tensile strength properties are measured in ...

The FT-MTA03 Micromechanical Testing and Assembly System is a highly versatile testing instrument used to accurately quantify mechanical properties and geometry/dimensions in the micro- and nanoscale.

Mechanical testing is a way of testing and measuring the properties of materials. Machines/instruments are available to test materials or finished products in a range of different ways including ...

Back in April 2015, my CW column focused on the two ASTM standardized test methods used for measuring the through-the-thickness, or interlaminar, tensile strength of composite laminates. Despite their ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

One material property that is widely used and recognized is the strength of a material. But what does the word "strength" mean? "Strength" can have many meanings, so let us take a closer look at what ...
