MECHANICAL TESTING

In addition to tests on metal, composite, sandwich structures, and adhesive materials; design-specific tests are also conducted; design specific testing and fixture design activities are carried out for these tests. During the tests, parameters such as strain and crack development are monitored, and the resulting data is analyzed to prepare and present technical reports.
