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 ...

Materials testing is a respected and established technique that is used to ascertain both the physical and mechanical properties of raw materials and components. It can be used to examine almost ...

Compression testing is used to determine how a product or material reacts when it is compressed, squashed, crushed or flattened by measuring fundamental parameters that determine the specimen behavior ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
