A testing machine can be used to push, pull or twist a sample of the material in order to determine the mechanical properties of a material. Many materials are strain rate sensitive which means that ...

In order to measure the mechanical properties of materials in compression, tension, bending or torsion, a universal testing machine is utilized. This article outlines the two different types ...

Harnessing the power of machine learning, scientists have developed a material testing technique that improves the accuracy of a previous technique used in manufacturing. Nano-indentation is a process ...

For nearly 150 years, construction materials testing has been a manual effort. Whether in an engineering lab, a commercial lab, at cement/ready-mix manufacturers’ sites or in the field, specimens are ...
