In this interview AZoM speaks to Matt Mahier from Instron about tire testing, the applications and solutions. How many materials typically go in to making a tire? Tires can seem simple on the surface, ...

The performance of the final product depends heavily on the degree of cure - making it critical to ensure that the reaction goes to completion for the highest quality and reliability. Achieving this ...

This video demonstrates a tensile test performed on the soft tissues using a temperature controlled bath with BioPuls submersible pneumatic grips and an Instron advanced video extensometer (AVE). The ...

Back in April 2015, my CW column focused on the two ASTM standardized test methods used for measuring the through-the-thickness, or interlaminar, tensile strength of composite laminates. Despite their ...

Since its launch in 2021, Profilometry-based Indentation Plastometry (PIP) testing has been widely adopted by engineers who require mechanical property data from parts that cannot be easily tested ...

Every year, billions of single-use needles as well as syringes are manufactured that range from surgical and hypodermic through to winged infusion sets and lancets. The medical device market is a ...

A four-year IAEA project involving nine research institutes resulted in the preparation of a set of guidelines aimed at standardizing small specimen test techniques (SSTT) for reference structural ...

Fission neutrons for materials testing have been available for decades in hundreds of experimental reactors worldwide; an extensive database for irradiated materials is available. Unfortunately, ...
