We will look at a very easy experiment that provides lots of information about the strength or the mechanical behavior of a material, called the tensile test. The basic idea of a tensile test is to ...

Product durability and reliability are now critical in today’s competitive manufacturing era. Across most industries, tensile ...

A neck is formed in a tensile test specimen when the UTS of the engineering stress/strain curve is reached. Prior to this stress-strain condition the plastic deformation occurs throughout the sample ...

Metal testing is an integral part of engineering education, particularly in fields such as materials science, mechanical engineering, and structural engineering. Universities integrate metal testing ...
