Materials testing tests the accuracy and load capacity of materials in different environmental conditions. Materials testing is not only performed at research institutes, it also helps companies to ...

Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...

Materials testing is a respected and established technique that is used to ascertain both the physical and mechanical properties of raw materials and components. It can be used to examine almost ...

Indentation testing is a non-destructive evaluation method that has become indispensable in the determination of materials’ mechanical properties. By applying a controlled force through an indenter ...

In response to limitations within material testing and simulation in early design stages for automotive/aviation composites, Forward Engineering GmbH has developed a modular approach to testing and ...

Small punch testing (SPT) has emerged as an indispensable technique for assessing the mechanical properties of materials using only tiny specimens. By utilising a miniature, disc‐shaped specimen ...

Harnessing the power of machine learning, scientists have developed a material testing technique that improves the accuracy of a previous technique used in manufacturing. Nano-indentation is a process ...

Fission neutrons for materials testing have been available for decades in hundreds of experimental reactors worldwide; an extensive database for irradiated materials is available. Unfortunately, ...
