In this article, we will examine three essential aspects of flat tensile specimens: where and why they are used, how international standards and geometry influence test outcomes, and what practical ...

Although materials testing is a well established technique, there are a multitude of tests that can be carried out using a universal materials testing machine. Sophisticated control software allows ...

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 ...

The physical properties of plastic materials are a vital part of product design and quality control. As a result of this, numerous materials tests are carried out. The most rudimentary of these tests ...
