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.

Cheers to Quality Sports and Quality Equipment

Thank you for tuning in during the London 2012 Summer Olympics. We hope these past few weeks have been fun and informative for you.

As the Olympics come to a close, we look forward to the upcoming Paralympic Games. The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) has announced that a record number of tickets for the Paralympics have been sold:  2.1 million. The Games begin August 29, including sports such as wheelchair tennis, judo, and para-cycling. During this global competition, we will continue to show the importance of testing equipment for these top athletes. 

As always, continue to check the blog for other news, tips, and the opportunity to ask questions of our application engineers.
