Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...

To provide a comprehensive analysis of various materials, TC&A Lab has introduced compression testing services, allowing for a thorough examination of the mechanical properties of metals, plastics, ...

Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...

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.

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 ...

Although failure of material is not the only reason for bridge failures, it is a vital step for choosing the correct materials, the analysis of bridge design, and construction testing. Bridge members ...

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.
