What Does DENT Stand For?

DENT stands for Double Edge Notched Tension

DENT, or Double Edge Notched Tension, is a testing method used to evaluate the tensile properties of materials with notched specimens. This technique involves creating precise notches on both edges of a sample, allowing for a thorough assessment of its mechanical behavior under tensile stress. DENT facilitates the understanding of fatigue resistance, fracture mechanics, and material integrity, making it essential in engineering and material science applications.
