Tensile Testing  (English, Hardcover, unknown)

Learn ways to predict material behaviour through tensile testing Learn how to test metals, alloys, composites, ceramics, plastics to determine strength, ductility and elastic/plastic deformation A must for laboratory managers, technicians, materials and design engineers and students involved with uniaxial tensile testing. Includes chapters on tensile testing of metals and alloys, plastics, elastomers, ceramics and composites, each written by an expert in that subject matter. Tensile Testing begins with an introduction and overview of the test, with clear explanations of how materials properties are determined from test results. Subsequent sections illustrate how knowledge gained through tensile tests, such as tension properties to predict the behaviour, including strength, ductility, elastic or plastic deformation, tensile and yield strengths, have resulted in improvements in materials applications. The text also illustrates instances where tensile testing has been used to improve products by predicting stresses and strains under different temperatures and loads.From materials to be tested to the methods and equipment used, Tensile Testing is a comprehensive collection of the worlds intelligence on the subject, a valuable resource for those in testing labs and for those conducting research in universities and government labs.
