Mechanical Testing

Mechanical testing is a process used to assess the properties of materials, like metals, plastics, and composites, by applying various forces or loads to them. This testing determines characteristics such as strength, hardness, flexibility, and durability. Common methods include tension tests, where materials are stretched until they break, and impact tests, which measure resistance to sudden forces. The results help engineers and manufacturers ensure that materials will perform reliably in real-world applications, such as in construction, automotive, and aviation industries, where safety and performance are crucial.
