The in-plane strength properties of a composite material, axial and transverse tension and compression and in-plane shear, are usually the first to be considered in design. However, ...

When we think of tensile specimen grips, our first mental image is probably that of the wedge grips that apply uniform clamping forces to the ends of flat test specimens. These were discussed in ...

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 ...

HUDSON, Ohio—Alpha Technologies is making tensile testing more destructive. In a good way. In partnership with Horshman, Pa.-based Tinius Olsen Testing Machine Co., a global manufacturer and supplier ...

Tensile testing, compression testing, ausforming, extrusion, and other hot-forming deformation 3 kW induction heating Thermal chamber for mechanical testing from -130℃ to 350℃ Displacement, load, and ...

Adhesives are often exposed to variable stresses that impact their behavioral properties and capacity to endure strain without breakage. These features are vital when determining what adhesive will be ...
