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.

Innovative compression algorithms can improve today�s high-speed data sampling. Compression algorithms have enabled many popular applications over the years. We cannot imagine sending e-mail ...

Test compression technology was invented to address the problem of escalating test-pattern size. Compression allows more test vectors to be applied to an IC in a shorter time and with fewer tester ...

Open-hole compression testing By the early 1980s, the emphasis was shifting from development of composite materials to development of tough, durable composite materials. The common catch phrase that ...

Axial compressive performance test and load capacity calculation method for prefabricated cold-formed steel composite wallboard filled with lightweight slurry.

Here is a demo video of how an engine compression test is done with some actual engine compression numbers from a used vehicle engine after logging in 280,000 miles.

A compression test is crucial for identifying engine problems. Costs range from $50 to $200 based on the mechanic, vehicle, and location.

Compression test on a football / soccer ball using a Z020 materials testing machine (Fmax 20 kN).

This video demonstrates a compression test performed on a paper cup using a compression testing system from Instron.
