Mechanical testing
Mechanical testing covers a wide range of tests, which can be divided broadly into two types: # those that aim to determine a material's mechanical properties, independent of geometry. # those that determine the response of a structure to a given action, e.g. testing of composite beams, aircraft structures to destruction, etc.
