This article will focus on grips employed for tensile testing and guide customers through the steps involved in determining the appropriate tensile grips for their testing. Specimen slippage from the ...

We will look at a very easy experiment that provides lots of information about the strength or the mechanical behavior of a material, called the tensile test. The basic idea of a tensile test is to ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Although less commonly measured than the in-plane tensile properties of a unidirectional (UD) composite, interlaminar tensile strength is an important material ...

Material testing is one of the most important steps in product development and quality control. It helps manufacturers ...

What is Tensile Testing and how can it be used to determine how something will react when it is pulled apart - when a force is applied to it in tension? Tensile testing is one of the simplest and most ...

In tensile testing, wedge grips are used on both ends of the specimen to position the specimen in the test frame. Wedge grips incorporate two main components: the grip body and two grip inserts, as ...
