Welcome to our new Instron Community Blog hosted by Instron. It is a compilation of the freshest, brightest, most-talented minds that Instron has to offer. The world of materials science is so vast and encompasses the broadest range of industries, materials, and challenges that no one person can possibly possess all the knowledge required to be the resident expert – or master of materials science. It takes a small army behind the scenes collaborating and sharing technical know-how, experiences, and ideas to present the most accurate, relevant, and timely information to you – our readers.

We invite you to tell us who you are, share your stories and talk about your experiences. Join the Instron Community.

Instron Recognizes Young Scientists in Darmstadt


Darmstadt has served as a center of expertise in structural durability for over a century. The Symposium on Structural Durability in Darmstadt (SoSDiD) provides a forum to present the current state of this work to the national and international fatigue community.

Research shared at the Symposium came from across the globe. The topics highlighted this year revolved around welded and bolted joints, effects of corrosion, thermomechanical and low cycle fatigue, lightweight design as well as fatigue testing.

As in previous years, Instron awarded scientific studies in the field of fatigue related research. This year a group of four young scientists from Darmstadt were awarded for their work on "Fatigue Assessment of Weld Ends".

We would like to congratulate them on their well deserved awards and wish them all the best for their future in fatigue-related work.
