Servohydraulic testers do more than conventional high-strainrate materials testers. Structures or components subjected to quickly applied loads see proportionately high rates of strain. But the ...

In order to measure the mechanical properties of materials in compression, tension, bending or torsion, a universal testing machine is utilized. This article outlines the two different types ...

A testing machine can be used to push, pull or twist a sample of the material in order to determine the mechanical properties of a material. Many materials are strain rate sensitive which means that ...
