Materials testing is a respected and established technique that is used to ascertain both the physical and mechanical properties of raw materials and components. It can be used to examine almost ...

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 ...

When first introduced to mechanical testing of composite materials, one can be confused, even overwhelmed, by the number of available test standards. One reason for this large variety of tests is the ...

All of our testing is conducted in our lab in Reno, Nevada by experimental researchers who have the experience to develop a customized approach to the specific materials and questions you have. We ...

How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...

Prepreg tack testing refers to measuring the “stickiness” of thermoset composite prepreg materials used to fabricate composite structures. These prepregs consist of a thin layer of fiber reinforcement ...

In laboratory science, temperature is not a minor detail. It is a defining factor that influences chemical behavior, ...

The literature review presented in this chapter describes the DOT certification programs and how they were developed in different ways, in part due to the flexibility found in 23 CFR 637B. Included is ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Sandia National Laboratories have devised a new way to test microscopic sized samples of aeronautical materials at ultra-high ...
