Until the early 1970s, there was relatively little interest in measuring the compressive properties of composite materials. For design purposes, it was generally assumed that the compressive strength ...

Defects can occur naturally during composite fabrication, and damage can be induced by impacts in service, but these tend to be relatively uncontrolled events. It was desired to induce an easily ...

The size of designs continues to grow and IC manufacturers are pushing for higher test quality, especially in mission-critical applications such as transportation and medicine. More advanced nodes ...

This video demonstrates the compression test performed on a milk crate using Instron universal testing machine. Compression testing was performed to measure the strength of the milk crate. Instron ...
