Highly developed universal testing machines and custom testing systems are of use in running tests and the determination of properties, for example breaking strength, ductility, elongation, fracture ...

A testing machine can be used to push, pull or twist a sample of the material in order to determine the mechanical properties of a material. Many materials are strain rate sensitive which means that ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of scientists from Ames National Laboratory and Texas A&M University developed a new way to predict metal ductility. This quantum-mechanics-based approach fills a need for an ...

A team of scientists developed a new quantum-mechanics-based approach to predict metal ductility. The team demonstrated its effectiveness on refractory multi-principal-element alloys. A team of ...
