A testing machine can be used to push, pull or twist a sample of the material in order to determine the mechanical properties of a material. Many materials are strain rate sensitive which means that ...

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...

For nearly 150 years, construction materials testing has been a manual effort. Whether in an engineering lab, a commercial lab, at cement/ready-mix manufacturers’ sites or in the field, specimens are ...
