Material
characterization
Mechanical material characterization, in particular determination of characteristic values for fiber-reinforced plastics, plastics, metals, wood, foams etc.
Possible tests according to different standards
- Tensile tests
- Print tests
- Shear tests (inner laminar and interlaminar)
- Bending tests (3-point, 4-point and mixed mode)
- CAI (Compression After Impact) tests
- Notch compression and tensile tests (OHT, OHC, FHT, FHC)
- Strength testing on joined specimens (bonded, bolted, riveted, welded, etc.)
- all tests can be realized at low or elevated temperatures
- Determination of static, cyclic and strain-rate-dependent characteristic values possible
