Key Mechanical Testing Methods Explained

This infographic illustrates essential mechanical testing methods that help evaluate the strength, durability, and performance of materials. Key tests include:

Tensile Testing: Measures material strength under pulling forces, determining yield, ultimate strength, and elongation.

Hardness Testing: Assesses resistance to indentation using methods like Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers.

Impact Testing: Evaluates material toughness against sudden shock with Charpy and Izod tests.

Fatigue Testing: Simulates the effect of repeated loading, predicting material failure over time.

Creep Testing: Measures deformation under constant stress and high heat over prolonged periods.

Fracture Toughness: Assesses a material's resistance to crack growth, particularly in flawed materials.

These tests are vital for ensuring the performance and longevity of materials in real-world applications
