Dental products are tested mechanically to prove their performance in various applications. For instance, compression tests on resin-modified glass ionomers and resin composites are used to compare mechanical strength to...

Dental implants employ titanium and can be attached in, on, or through the mandible as a support for a prosthetic tooth. Three types of dental implants include the most common,...

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering (Purdue University) outfitted their biomedical teaching lab with multiple mechanical test stations to expose students to testing experience. Their focus was around integrating engineering and...

Tennessee Tech Engineering Laboratory uses TestResources equipment to provide mechanical engineering students with hands-on experiences in engineering design activities that relate to a variety of engineering disciplines. The laboratory...

Increasing demand for high quality and reliable electronic components and materials make flexural testing an important consideration to manufacturing process and research and development to define a material

Hip replacements fail by loosening of the mechanical components such as the acetabular cup or the stem of the prosthesis. There are many causes of loosening including fatigue endurance and...

The 810L-22675 servocontrolled ankle foot simulator performs cyclic fatigue tests for external lower limb prosthetic devices, including realistic simulation of loading conditions of the complete stance phase of walking from...

The spine is a complex joint and so research on biomechanics and flexibility remains. Mechanical static and dynamic tests include multi-axial and complex simulation of spinal segments under different conditions....

Testing the mechanical properties of biological soft tissues requires test equipment that is specialized in several respects. When testing tissues such as ligaments, tendons, muscle and cartilage, blood vessels, brain,...

Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) are tested to confirm product and process quality expections. The pressure sensitive adhesive is applied to labels, films, stickers and, tapes and other applications where initial...
