Harnessing the power of machine learning, scientists have developed a material testing technique that improves the accuracy of a previous technique used in manufacturing. Nano-indentation is a process ...

Materials testing tests the accuracy and load capacity of materials in different environmental conditions. Materials testing is not only performed at research institutes, it also helps companies to ...

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 ...

A Standard Test Method is a conclusive procedure that yields a test result. So as to achieve accurate and relevant test results, a standard test method is definite, unambiguous, and experimentally ...

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 ...

A scanner ensures that ultrasonic probes stay properly aligned as they move over the surface of the inspection area. Scanners with motorized actuator arms, suction cups and adjustable, flexible tracks ...

With the international transportation networks of oil and gas pipelines aging, automated ball indentation (ABI) testing provides a means of monitoring their structural integrity, particularly ...
