Materials Testing- ADMET Blog

Materials Testing is that part of engineering design, development and research that relies on laboratory testing of one kind or another to answer questions. Testing is also required during manufacturing to ensure a material or product meets some predefined specification. A universal testing machine is used to measure the mechanical properties of materials intension, compression, bending or torsion. Common properties of interest include Offset Yield Strength, Young’s Modulus, Poisson's Ratio, Tensile and Compression Strength and Total Elongation.

The attached papers are written by MIT graduate Richard Gedney, the President of ADMET, Inc. (www.ADMET.com) and have been cited by scholar articles and professional organizations such as ASM International. We hope researchers and educators will find the context valuable for their work. Any questions about materials testing, ASTM, and ISO standards, please feel free to post to this blog.
