Fig. 1   INSTRON

Function/capability:

  • The machine is a highly accurate and versatile materials testing instrument, designed for the precise measurement of the properties and behaviour of materials in tension, compression and flexure.
  • It has a 100kN (10,000kg) max. load capacity

Research projects:

  • Failure mode of dental materials
    (PhD student: Dr. Wang Yan )

Recent publications:

  • Dong X.D. and Darvell B.W., Stress distribution and failure mode of dental ceramic structures under Hertzian indentation, Dental Materials. 2003, 19: 542-551.
