To investigate materials’ mechanical properties, nanoindentation and micro-compression tests are often used. These properties of materials are interrogated using either load or displacement control, ...

CMCs are made up of two major components: a reinforcing material for strength and stiffness and a matrix material to hold the composite together. CMCs have both ceramic reinforcement and matrix. This ...

The medical device and electronics industries manufacture products that are fundamentally different from ordinary hard goods. These high-technology products with critical end-use applications tend to ...

This film discusses hardness testing methods in engineering, specifically focusing on the Brunell and Rockwell hardness tests. It explains how hardness is measured through indentation and penetration ...
