To investigate materials’ mechanical properties, nanoindentation and micro-compression tests are often used. These properties of materials are interrogated using either load or displacement control, ...

Most ultrasonic flaw detection and thickness gaging are carried out at normal temperatures. However, sometimes a hot material requires testing, for example, in process industries. In these instances, ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) exhibit impressive stiffness and strength properties that are commonly attributed to the reinforcing fibers. However, for many important mechanical properties, the ...

The design of hypersonic flight vehicles is characterized by stringent requirements like achieving sharp leading edges to maximize lift-to-drag ratios while experiencing extreme external gas ...

Used for decades in coatings, textiles, packaging, and other materials, they provide water and oil repellency, chemical ...

All of our testing is conducted in our lab in Reno, Nevada by experimental researchers who have the experience to develop a customized approach to the specific materials and questions you have. We ...
