Lithium-ion batteries are a kind of rechargeable battery that is charged or discharged through desorption or insertion of lithium ions (Li +) from or into the active material structure. In recent ...

Because composite material test specimens tend to be relatively thin, buckling prior to the desired failure mode is a concern when specimens are loaded in compression. Known as column buckling, but ...

The difference between a material tester and a force tester is not always clear. This article hopes to illustrate the key differences between these important devices. A force tester is designed to ...

According to Lloyd Instruments, the Model LS1 single-columnmaterials-testing machine provides enhanced speed, accuracy, and flexibilityfor all materials-testing applications under 1 kN (225 lbf) force ...

The size of designs continues to grow and IC manufacturers are pushing for higher test quality, especially in mission-critical applications such as transportation and medicine. More advanced nodes ...

In my previous column, I discussed the influence of column buckling of the composite material test specimen on its measured compressive strength (see "Buckling of composite material compression ...
