Mechanical testing includes a wide variety of testing techniques that aim to either characterize a material’s mechanical properties or determine a structure’s response to a specific force. Mechanical testing is a standard and crucial part of the design and manufacture of any product. From medical implants to airplane wings, all materials can be verified as safe and efficient for their application through mechanical testing.
Common mechanical test techniques include:
- Fatigue
- Dynamic Mechanical Characterization (DMA)
- Tension/Compression
- Bending
- Multi-axial
- Torsion
- Shear
- Creep
- Stress Relaxation
- Pulsatile
- Failure Testing
- Accelerated Life Testing
Material designers and product manufacturers frequently use these techniques in tandem, and therefore need versatile instruments uniquely suited to their specific tests. Mechanical testing instruments come in various shapes, sizes, and capability ranges.
