strength-testing machine
1Testing machine — Testing Test ing, n. 1. The act of testing or proving; trial; proof. [1913 Webster] 2. (Metal.) The operation of refining gold or silver in a test, or cupel; cupellation. [1913 Webster] {Testing machine} (Engin.), a machine used in the… …
2testing machine — Machine used in materials science to determine the properties of a material. Machines have been devised to measure tensile strength, strength in compression, shear, and bending (see strength of materials), ductility, hardness, impact strength… …
3strength of materials — Engineering discipline concerned with the ability of a material to resist mechanical forces when in use. A material s strength in a given application depends on many factors, including its resistance to deformation and cracking, and it often… …
4Testing — Test ing, n. 1. The act of testing or proving; trial; proof. [1913 Webster] 2. (Metal.) The operation of refining gold or silver in a test, or cupel; cupellation. [1913 Webster] {Testing machine} (Engin.), a machine used in the determination of… …
5Strength of materials — Internal force lines are denser near the hole, a common stress concentration In materials science, the strength of a material is its ability to withstand an applied stress without failure. The applied stress may be tensile, compressive, or shear …
6Package testing — Military shipping container being drop tested Testing …
7Tensile strength — sigma {UTS}, or S U is the stress at which a material breaks or permanently deforms. Tensile strength is an intensive property and, consequently, does not depend on the size of the test specimen. However, it is dependent on the preparation of the …
8Compressive strength — is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand axially directed pushing forces. When the limit of compressive strength is reached, materials are crushed. Concrete can be made to have high compressive strength, e.g. many concrete… …
9compressive strength test — mechanical test measuring the maximum amount of compressive load a material can bear before fracturing. The test piece, usually in the form of a cube, prism, or cylinder, is compressed between the platens of a compression testing machine by …
10materials testing — Introduction measurement of the characteristics and behaviour of such substances as metals, ceramics, or plastics under various conditions. The data thus obtained can be used in specifying the suitability of materials for various… …
