About a dozen years ago, the world of test had reached an economic impasse: most digital designs had become sufficiently complex that standard scan testing techniques were no longer cost-effective.

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...

This video demonstrates the compression test performed on a milk crate using Instron universal testing machine. Compression testing was performed to measure the strength of the milk crate. Instron ...

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 ...

Timely delivery of highly reliable semiconductor products to market is essential to success in today’s competitive business environment. As if following through on this objective were not already ...

While a large number of resin and metal materials demonstrate plastic deformation behavior, ceramic and glass materials exhibit almost no plastic deformation. Rather, they are prone to brittle failure ...
