Because of their brittle nature, ceramics, fiber-reinforced or unreinforced, are difficult to test in pure tension, compression and shear, primarily due to difficulties in gripping and uniformly ...

Universal testing machines (UTMs) that test mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, compressive and shear are among the most commonly used instruments plastics compounders are likely to buy ...

This video shows flexure testing of plastics to ISO178 using the AutoX750 from Instron. The ISO 178 investigates the flexural behavior of plastics to determine the flexural strength, flexural modulus, ...
