Material Strength Testing

Material strength testing involves evaluating how materials, like metals or plastics, respond to forces. It measures properties such as tensile strength (resistance to pulling apart), compression strength (resistance to squeezing), and toughness (ability to absorb energy without breaking). These tests ensure materials can withstand real-world conditions in construction, manufacturing, and engineering. Typically, a sample is subjected to controlled forces until it deforms or breaks, and data is recorded to assess safety, quality, and performance standards. This testing is vital for designing reliable, durable products and structures.
