Flexural strength and stiffness are not basic material properties. They are the combined effects of a material’s basic tensile, compressive and shear properties. That is, when a flexural loading is ...

Universal testing machines outfitted with bend fixtures are used in calculating flexural strength, flexural modulus, yield point, and more. This article will explore the requisite equipment for ...

A concern in some practical applications of materials, including composites, is their ability to resist permanent deformation with time under load; to sustain a load when they are deformed by a fixed ...

ADMET has many years of experience in the material testing industry and this has shown the significance of equipping test machines with the exact grips and fixtures. Image Credit: Admet Inc. A machine ...

In our previous post, we talked about issues experienced when using FR4 material in PCB. This week, we’ll discuss some of our other test fixtures that are used to perform testing here at the lab. All ...

Today’s high power semiconductor test applications are increasingly demanding, requiring test instrumentation capable of characterizing higher rated voltages and peak currents than ever before. Many ...

Test and programming fixtures are great time-savers for anyone who needs to deal with more than a handful of PCBs. Instead of plugging in connectors (or awkwardly holding probe tips or wires) to ...

Wireless fixtures for in-circuit testing (ICT) have been available for more than 15 years and have no equal in testing high node-count complex circuit boards. However, there are other hidden ...
