President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

Micropillar compression testing [1] is fast emerging as a viable alternative to nanoindentation, for the measurement of mechanical properties and deformation behavior of small volumes and thin films.

For the past five years, the cost of test has prevailed as the hottest topic in test. During this period, automated test equipment (ATE) has made a dramatic move towards low-cost design for test (DFT) ...

Test compression has quickly moved from a luxury item for leading edge companies to a necessity for much of the mainstream market. This is because semiconductor companies manufacturing designs at ...

This video shows the compression testing using TA1 food texture analyzer from Lloyd Instruments. It can be used to determine the flexibility and breaking strength of the dry spaghetti. Spaghetti ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Beyond toughness comparisons, notched testing of composites serves additional important purposes today. In the aerospace industry, notched testing is used in the ...

The trend in semiconductors leads to more IC test data volume, longer test times, and higher test costs. Embedded deterministic test (EDT) has continued to deliver more compression, which has been ...

Compression in a diesel engine is essential for effective and efficient performance. And when compression is lacking, damage can result. That is why it’s imperative to know whether your engine’s ...

The International Tennis Federation (ITF) invited Mecmesin to bid for a project to replace its outdated ‘Stevens’ test machine which was used to measure the force required to ‘squash’ a tennis ball.

Have you ever noticed when searching the online blogs that there are those subjects in our hobby where everyone has an opinion, and yet they don’t know why their opinion exists? Which oil, which tires ...
