  2. Schmidt hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_hammer

    A Schmidt hammer, [1] also known as a Swiss hammer or a rebound hammer or concrete hammer test, is a device to measure the elastic properties or strength of concrete or rock, mainly surface hardness and penetration resistance. It was invented by Ernst Heinrich Wilhelm Schmidt, a Swiss engineer. [2] The hammer measures the rebound of a spring ...

  3. Smith chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

    Using the Smith chart, the normalised impedance may be obtained with appreciable accuracy by plotting the point representing the reflection coefficient treating the Smith chart as a polar diagram and then reading its value directly using the characteristic Smith chart scaling. This technique is a graphical alternative to substituting the values ...

  4. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    Compressive strength. Measuring the compressive strength of a steel drum. In mechanics, compressive strength (or compression strength) is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size (compression). It is opposed to tensile strength which withstands loads tending to elongate, resisting tension (being pulled ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charpy_impact_test

    t. e. In materials science, the Charpy impact test, also known as the Charpy V-notch test, is a standardizedhigh strain ratetest which determines the amount of energyabsorbed by a material during fracture. Absorbed energy is a measure of the material's notchtoughness.

  7. Nondestructive testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondestructive_testing

    X-ray vault used in Radiography. Nondestructive testing (NDT) is any of a wide group of analysis techniques used in science and technology industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing damage. [ 1 ] The terms nondestructive examination (NDE), nondestructive inspection (NDI), and nondestructive evaluation ...

  8. Rockwell scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_scale

    Rockwell scale. The Rockwell scale is a hardness scale based on indentation hardness of a material. The Rockwell test measures the depth of penetration of an indenter under a large load (major load) compared to the penetration made by a preload (minor load). [1] There are different scales, denoted by a single letter, that use different loads or ...

  9. Calibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration

    Calibration. In measurement technology and metrology, calibration is the comparison of measurement values delivered by a device under test with those of a calibration standard of known accuracy. Such a standard could be another measurement device of known accuracy, a device generating the quantity to be measured such as a voltage, a sound tone ...
