Although materials testing is a well established technique, there are a multitude of tests that can be carried out using a universal materials testing machine. Sophisticated control software allows ...

Materials testing is a well-established technique used to determine the physical and mechanical properties of raw materials and components from a human hair to steel, composite materials and ceramics.

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 ...

Big changes are coming to the composites industry. As James Cropper prepares to release a new technology that promises to redefine how recycled and waste fibers are used in high-performance ...

The Test Facility at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) DLR Institute of Composite Structures and Adaptive Systems in Braunschweig is used for comprehensive, ...

Firstly, it can help materials meet specific regulatory standards and requirements. For instance, materials used in biomedical devices must be biocompatible and safe in the body. Determine mechanical ...
