Materials testing tests the accuracy and load capacity of materials in different environmental conditions. Materials testing is not only performed at research institutes, it also helps companies to ...

Indentation testing is a non-destructive evaluation method that has become indispensable in the determination of materials’ mechanical properties. By applying a controlled force through an indenter ...

Small punch testing (SPT) has emerged as an indispensable technique for assessing the mechanical properties of materials using only tiny specimens. By utilising a miniature, disc‐shaped specimen ...

Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...

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 ...

Hardness Testing is applied to a great number of materials, and for over 250 years, it has been an invaluable and frequently used mechanical test. A variety of hardness tests can be used to establish ...

The “DNA” of Faserinstitut Bremen e.V.’s (FIBRE) research is materials testing. At its ECOMAT site, much of its composites research is focused on aerospace and/or sustainability, including work in ...
