Currently, the rebound hammer is widely used for estimation of compressive strength of concrete as general testing method. Although rebound hammer has made great contribution for compressive strength ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Because composite structures are subjected to flexural loading in typical applications, it is not surprising that flexure testing of composites is commonly ...

Researchers have, for the first time, used a 'micropillar compression' technique to characterize the micro-scale strength of cement, allowing for the development of cement with desirable strength ...

This image shows a representative cement micropillar sample imaged by scanning electron microscope. Samples like this one are key to the use of a 'micropillar compression' technique to characterize ...

Test compression offers the benefits of higher quality and lower test cost, but how do you choose the best methodology and tools for your current and future designs? Test compression evaluations ...

This video demonstrates the compression test performed on a milk crate using Instron universal testing machine. Compression testing was performed to measure the strength of the milk crate. Instron ...
