Materials Evaluation
Research Area: 
Mechanical Behaviour of Materials

Often, the component size puts limit on the fabrication of conventional specimens to study mechanical behaviour of materials. Efforts are therefore going on for quite sometime to evaluate the mechanical behaviour of materials using sub-sized or even or even miniature sized specimens.
