Wide Width Tensile Testing
Tensile testing is among the most standard tests performed by universal testing machines yet depending on how the test specimen is used in its native environment, setting up the tensile test method is not [...]
Lüders Bands Phenomenon in ASTM E8 Tensile Testing
Some metals, particularly annealed low-carbon steel, or mild steel, show a discontinuity when transitioning from elastic to plastic deformation that produces the yield point phenomenon in the stress strain curve. An example of the discontinuity [...]
Viscoelasticity Testing & Equipment
Certain materials such as plastics, biologic tissues, synthetic fibers, polymers, and metals at elevated temperatures exhibit a combination of viscous and elastic characteristics with mechanical properties that depend on the rate at which they [...]
