Extensometry is the science of the measurement and analysis of changes in a materials linear dimensions during tensile testing. An extensometer is an instrument that measures test specimen elongation ...

A good combination of toughness, stiffness, and strength is required for fibers used in sophisticated applications, such as microelectronics, biomedical scaffolds, bulletproof vests, etc.

The Instron ® AT3 features an innovative design for the automated tensile, compression, and/or flexural testing of a wide range of specimens types.

Composite testing challenges, Part 1: Introduction to mechanical testing of composites A range of standardized mechanical tests for complex composites are available and still under development for ...

The overall objective of this research proposal is to provide a set of guidelines for SSTT based on common agreed best practices on main test techniques (tensile, creep, low cycle fatigue, fracture ...

Researchers at DITF have developed tapes made from rCF, recycled carbon fibers, that have nearly comparable textile strength to virgin fibers.

This video presents a custom testing application where tensile fatigue loading is applied to rubber rings using the eXpert 4000 frame. It has an attachable bath and submersible fixtures.

The IAEA launched in 2017 a coordinated research project (CRP) series, entitled Towards the Standardization of Small Specimen Test Techniques for Fusion Applications, focused on the harmonization of ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Because composite structures are subjected to flexural loading in typical applications, it is not surprising that flexure testing of composites is commonly ...
