In order to measure the mechanical properties of materials in compression, tension, bending or torsion, a universal testing machine is utilized. This article outlines the two different types ...

Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...

Force measurement was considered to be an innocuous test that was performed on the production floor or in a laboratory. On the other hand, materials testing is commonly known as the science of ...

Operating at millimetRE-wave frequencies introduces a set of engineering challenges that extend far beyond traditional radio frequency testing ...

Measuring strains during mechanical testing can be challenging, particularly when initially developing the capability. Additionally, there are multiple strain measurement methods to choose from, each ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

NI launches Nigel AI Advisor to help engineers streamline test workflows and accelerate product development using natural ...

Complex grids depend on equipment such as transformers, protection relays, switchgear, and cables—each of which can develop faults not immediately visible during normal operation. As a result, ...

Test and measurement instruments evolve over time. The banner improvements come in performance, things like measurement bandwidth and dynamic range. These always make the trade press headlines, but ...

It's no surprise that test and measurement instruments occupy a coveted spot in many an electrician's tool bag. In an effort to capture a piece of this estimated $1 billion market, Brookfield, ...
