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 ...

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 ...

The sampling Moiré method is a non-contact optical technique that has gained prominence for its ability to precisely measure strain and deformation in various materials and structures. This method ...

Strain gages are sensing devices used in a variety of physical test and measurement applications. They change resistance at their output terminals when stretched or compressed. Because of this ...

The entire stress-strain curve can now be determined using nanoindentation with a flat-ended cylindrical punch and novel analysis of the resulting force-displacement data 1. Unlike pyramidal indenters ...

Modern diffraction-based tools, from micro-focus X-ray diffraction (XRD) to electron microscopy-based techniques, enable multi-scale residual strain quantification. This study confirms that methods ...

MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Micro-Measurements ® brand of Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG) today announced that it has introduced a new high performance data acquisition system ...

Thanks to one peculiar characteristic of carbon nanotubes, engineers will soon be able to measure the accumulated strain in an airplane, a bridge or a pipeline - or just about anything - over the ...

“Gauging the strain,” February’s Special Report on Data Acquisition, presented traditional strain gage theory and highlighted several instruments and bridge amplifiers suitable for use with strain ...
