Up, down, to the left and to the right…. – the servo hydraulic testing machine HB 100 of Zwick in Ulm considers all possibilities and performs both tensile/compression and torsion tests on helical ...

What is a Tensile Test? A tensile test pulls (or stretches) a sample and, as a result, the extensibility/elongation and tensile strength properties are measured in ...

Recent market analyses indicate that the spring steel wire market is experiencing steady growth, driven by global infrastructure projects, expanding automotive production, and technological ...

The in-plane strength properties of a composite material, axial and transverse tension and compression and in-plane shear, are usually the first to be considered in design. However, ...

Material testing is important in big industry, where manufacturers must be able to trust the properties of the raw materials they’re using. The rest of us generally take a supplier’s word for it that ...

Back in April 2015, my CW column focused on the two ASTM standardized test methods used for measuring the through-the-thickness, or interlaminar, tensile strength of composite laminates. Despite their ...
