ASTM D412 (D 412) covers the tensile properties of thermoset rubbers and thermoplastic elastomers. The specification describes two test methods, A and B. Method A is common and can be performed on a ...

Tensile testing is one of the most widely used methods for evaluating how a material responds to an axial stretching force. These tests can be conducted under ambient conditions or in controlled ...

Finite-element analysis (FEA) is an indispensable tool for predicting a product’s behavior in real-world situations and over time. However, an FEA model is only as good as the material parameters it’s ...

The Zwick Z020 is a versatile and precise tensile testing machine for measuring mechanical properties of materials such as plastics, metals, rubber, and composites. With interchangeable load cells, it ...

AKRON—What makes a lab Industry 4.0? It might not be what you think. "Most people think the introduction of robots and computers is Industry 4.0," said Khaled Boqaileh, co-founder and CEO of LabsCubed ...

Material testing is important in big industry, where manufacturers must be able to trust the properties of the raw materials they’re using. The rest of us generally take a supplier’s word for it that ...
