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 ...

When assessing material strength, it is essential to perform mechanical tests at a constant strain rate. For strain-rate-sensitive materials, strength is not determined solely by the applied stress or ...

As countries deploy new nuclear reactor technologies, introduce new fuel designs and seek to extend the operating life of ...

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 ...

Forward Engineering demonstrates its Box Thermal Runaway (Box TRA) test, used to evaluate composite, metallic and ...

A four-year project aims to develop technical guidance to help produce more effective, safer and efficient testing of new reactor and fuel technologies in research reactors.  ; ...

Property testers are used to determine various physical properties of samples, including cloud point, distillation, flash point, freezing point, melting point, pour point, and vapor pressure.

Scientists have discovered that copper melts gradually rather than collapsing all at once under ...

Construction has started in Granada, Spain, of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility-Demo Oriented Neutron Source project. The facility will provide a fusion‐like neutron source for ...
