Calibration of a universal testing machine involves validation of the accuracy of the system’s instruments responsible for achieving displacement and force measurements. Technically speaking, ...

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 ...

This video illustrates the tensile testing on high-strength yarns with ZwickRoell’s materials testing machine. This single column testing machine is ideal for compression, cyclic and tensile testing ...

If you’re serious about engineering the things you build, you need to know the limits of the materials you’re working with. One important way to characterize materials is to test the tensile strength ...

Among the most common properties reported for fiber-reinforced polymers are those obtained from tensile testing of a unidirectional (UD) composite in the fiber direction. These properties include ...

HUDSON, Ohio—Alpha Technologies is making tensile testing more destructive. In a good way. In partnership with Horshman, Pa.-based Tinius Olsen Testing Machine Co., a global manufacturer and supplier ...
