Tensile Testing Biomaterials: Tips and Tricks

Tensile Testing Biomaterials: Tips and Tricks

by Steve Dragos | Apr 16, 2020 | Educational Resources

Tensile testing biomaterials can be deceptively finicky. Loads are often small, the curve is rarely linear, and the result can be shaped by handling choices before the sample ever sees a clean pull. If you want a method-level refresher, see our page on Tensile...
