The accuracy and quality of results depends considerably on the cuts made to prepare a sample for tensile testing. It is very important to prepare a sample without nicks or jagged edges for accurate ...

ADMET has many years of experience in the material testing industry and this has shown the significance of equipping test machines with the exact grips and fixtures. Image Credit: Admet Inc. A machine ...

When we think of tensile specimen grips, our first mental image is probably that of the wedge grips that apply uniform clamping forces to the ends of flat test specimens. These were discussed in ...

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 ...
