Mechanical testing is a research area that focuses on evaluating the mechanical properties and behavior of materials. This includes testing the strength, stiffness, ductility, toughness, fatigue resistance, and other mechanical properties of materials used in various applications such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and biomedical engineering. Mechanical testing involves subjecting materials to controlled loading and measuring their response to determine their mechanical characteristics. This research area helps engineers and scientists understand how materials will perform under different conditions and helps in the development of new materials with improved mechanical properties.
