A one-day introduction to the fundamentals of materials testing. This course covers mechanical properties, test types, stress-strain curves, modulus, and yield — with live demonstrations of tensile, compressive, flexural, and peel testing on computerized instruments. By the end of the day, students will be able to interpret test curves, calculate key results, and apply good testing procedures across common test types.
Polymers continue to replace traditional materials across the automotive sector — but performance requirements are becoming more demanding than ever. This session explores how to test automotive‑grade plastics for safety, durability, and regulatory compliance.
In this one-day course, students will work with a certified Instron training instructor to explore the basic tools and features of Bluehill Universal. Using a hands-on approach, the instructor will guide students through a series of projects designed to foster an understanding of basic Test Method development.
A one-day advanced course for experienced Bluehill® Universal users. Building on core test method skills, students work with a certified Instron instructor through hands-on projects covering Expression Builder, calculation and graphical domains, virtual measurements, custom transducer setup, Instron Connect, and software security configuration. Designed for users who want to take full control of their testing environment and administrative settings.
