Researchers at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi,


The article from the Ghana News Agency discusses a groundbreaking development by scientists at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) who have created a high-precision material testing machine. This machine, developed by a team led by Professor Francis Ofosu Anim, is designed to test the mechanical properties of materials with exceptional accuracy, which is crucial for industries like construction, manufacturing, and aerospace. The device can measure parameters such as tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness, providing data that helps in quality control and material certification. The innovation is expected to reduce the dependency on imported testing equipment, thereby saving costs and promoting local technological advancement. The project was supported by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission and aims to enhance research capabilities within Ghana, potentially leading to further technological innovations and improvements in material science.
