Destructive Testing
Destructive testing is a process where load or
stress is applied to the object of interest until
the specimen fails. These tests are generally much
easier to carry out, yield more information, and are
easier to interpret than nondestructive testing.
Nondestructive testing of an object is often done in
view of future use, which would make destructive
testing pointless. However, it can be useful if the
result gives information about similar specimens
which are not tested.
