Mechanical testing method: test and fatigue-campaign design against named standards, tensile testing, load frame and instrumentation capability, and data acquisition, with the mechanical_testing_expert subagent.
Check sampling rate, filtering, and channel calibration against the physical signal being captured, before treating logged data as a faithful record.
Check what a servo-hydraulic or electromechanical load frame, its load cell and its strain measurement can actually resolve before treating a test result as valid at the required precision. Vendor-neutral; read the specific system's specifications and calibration records.
Specify a mechanical test's type, governing standard, control mode and specimen before running or interpreting it; for fatigue campaigns, define loading, failure and runout criteria and treat runouts as censored data.
Extract baseline material behavior from a tensile test with its rate, geometry, and extensometry stated, and distinguish engineering from true stress-strain.
