What is a Tensile Test? A tensile test pulls (or stretches) a sample and, as a result, the extensibility/elongation and tensile strength properties are measured in ...

In this article, we will examine three essential aspects of flat tensile specimens: where and why they are used, how ...

Compared to general structural steels, high tensile strength steel has increased strength making it ideal for the automotive industry where environmental problems and demands for collision safety are ...

Material testing is important in big industry, where manufacturers must be able to trust the properties of the raw materials they’re using. The rest of us generally take a supplier’s word for it that ...

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 ...

Mecmesin is part of the Physical Properties Testers Group (PPT Group), a multi-national group of brands expert in the design and production of solutions for testing a range of physical properties ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...
