Compression testing is a way to determine engine health. We use differential compression testing in aviation because it is a more reliable method of testing engine compression than direct compression ...

Micropillar compression testing [1] is fast emerging as a viable alternative to nanoindentation, for the measurement of mechanical properties and deformation behavior of small volumes and thin films.

This video shows the compression testing using TA1 food texture analyzer from Lloyd Instruments. It can be used to determine the flexibility and breaking strength of the dry spaghetti. Spaghetti ...
