A typical microstructure (grain structure at the micron scale) of metallic material. (Courtesy: J Stinville) The tiniest defects in a metal can cause it to fail, but predicting when this so-called ...

Metal testing equipment is primarily used to measure the tensile strength of metals, however further uses include hardness and impact testing, metallographic and formability testing, and much more.

Engineers have identified a fundamental deformation mechanism that can be leveraged to greatly enhance the fatigue properties of metals, opening the door to a new strategy for designing ...

Fatigue life is a key concern in welded-steel frames for mobile equipment that experience large and varying dynamic loads. For engineers who design welded-steel structures subject to dynamic loading, ...
