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 ...

Newly developed high-entropy alloys (HEA), which are useful for high-temperature applications, show superior mechanical properties at elevated temperatures when compared to conventional superalloys or ...

Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...

Highly developed universal testing machines and custom testing systems are of use in running tests and the determination of properties, for example breaking strength, ductility, elongation, fracture ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In addition to providing increased strength properties, fiber-reinforced CMCs exhibit markedly improved toughness and damage tolerance compared to traditional ...

Have you ever encountered this problem: car manufacturers often spend a lot of time and resources testing material strength? Industry data shows that traditional tensile tests take an average of over ...

However, many application scenarios require material performance that is not limited to room temperature; performance in low-temperature environments is particularly critical. Especially in cold ...

This paper investigates the effect of specimen geometry and test boundary conditions on the measured dynamic mechanical properties of high strength sheet steel derived from high speed tensile testing ...

Last week, testing specialists PV Evolution Labs launched its latest Module Reliability Scorecard, which names more than 100 products from 26 manufacturers as top performers, after being put through ...

In the United States, heart disease is the leading cause of death among adults. Vascular stents are vital medical devices that are used to ensure patients increase their life expectancy and lead ...

This article focuses on some of the applications being developed by the Civil Engineering Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), for whom Anton Paar developed an innovative ...
