Mid February Bulletin

16 February 2009 - Resources on Mechanical Properties - Bulletin 34


Introduction

Please find here our new Mid Month Bulletin that we offer with the purpose of providing useful online information easily accessible to our readers, either now or at some later date.

Therefore may we suggest that you save or bookmark this page for your future reference.

Readers may recall that the subject of Mechanical Testing was briefly introduced in our page on Welding Testing. Click on the link for seeing it.

Now we present a list of online Resources on that argument.

Although the subject cannot be covered thoroughly in a short page like this one, for studying the matter in depth many valuable books are available. Select from the following Textbooks on Mechanical Testing.

For any questions, comments or feedback please send us a message by e-mail. Don't use REPLY, use Contact Us instead.

Note: The addresses reported hereafter were live and correct at the time of their publication. There is no guarantee that they will be always be so, because they are administered by the sources themselves and are under their control.

Therefore if the information is important to you, you may save the selected pages in a suitable folder on your Computer for easy reference.

Note: References to articles or other documents are given here in one of two forms. If the links are "live" (usually underlined or otherwise highlighted) they are operated with a click of the mouse.

If they are URL's (Uniform Resource Locator), which is the analogue of an address, they begin with "http://..." or "www.". These are not live and must be copied and pasted entirely into the browser (after having selected them with the mouse or otherwise). If they are long they may be displayed in two or more lines. In that case one has to care that the URL be copied completely in a single line without any space, and Enter.
