Tensile testing is one of the most widely used methods for evaluating how a material responds to an axial stretching force. These tests can be conducted under ambient conditions or in controlled ...

Tensile Testing Machines and Universal Testing Machines. Let's dive into what these machines do, why they're essential, and how they make lives easier for manufacturers. Understanding Tensile Testing: ...

Plastics compounders routinely perform mechanical tests as part of the product development cycle. Producers often turn to universal testing machines (UTMs) to pull, stretch, bend or compress test ...

A patent-pending indentation method gathers data on a range of materials for which it was previously unobtainable Using Nanovea’s Mechanical Tester in indentation mode, with a cylindrical flat tip, it ...

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 ...
