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 ...

It’s been a long time in the works, but the U.S. Department of Transportation has published a final rule that amends the federal regulated industry drug-testing program to include oral fluid specimen ...

Materials testing machines are predominantly used for the determination of the strength and deformation behaviour of specimens and components. For this purpose, tensile, compression, flexure or shear ...

Peter Bailey, Senior Applications Specialist for Instron Dynamic Systems, talks to AZoM about the benefits and applications of composites fatigue testing and how Instron's unique Specimen Self-Heating ...

Until the early 1970s, there was relatively little interest in measuring the compressive properties of composite materials. For design purposes, it was generally assumed that the compressive strength ...

Fission neutrons for materials testing have been available for decades in hundreds of experimental reactors worldwide; an extensive database for irradiated materials is available. Unfortunately, ...
