Mechanical testing methods

Mechanical testing methods evaluate how materials and structures respond to forces, helping determine their strength, flexibility, and durability. Common tests include tensile testing, which stretches a material until it breaks to measure its strength; compression testing, pressing materials to see how they deform under weight; and hardness testing, assessing resistance to indentation. These tests ensure materials meet safety standards and perform reliably in real-world applications. They provide critical data for engineers to select suitable materials and design safe, durable products.
