Although materials testing is a well established technique, there are a multitude of tests that can be carried out using a universal materials testing machine. Sophisticated control software allows ...

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 ...

No specific standard yet exists for using the compact tension test method to determine the fracture toughness of composite materials, but the method has long been used for testing metals and ...

If you’re serious about engineering the things you build, you need to know the limits of the materials you’re working with. One important way to characterize materials is to test the tensile strength ...

Amphenol, a global interconnect specialist, designs, manufactures, and supplies high-performance interconnect systems. The key markets of the company include military and aerospace, which require the ...

Among the most common properties reported for fiber-reinforced polymers are those obtained from tensile testing of a unidirectional (UD) composite in the fiber direction. These properties include ...

Tensile testing is commonly used to determine the maximum load (tensile strength) that a material or a product can withstand.
