Flexibility tests

All powders require a primer and pass the flexibility test, which means no cracking under a 3-mm dia mandrel bend. 

Ofjmportance also is the flexibility test, which is carried out by bending a strip of the leather (bloom outside) into an arc, at first with a diameter equal to ten times the thickness and afterwards with less diameters (the strip may be bent round cylindrical rollers of different diameters), any cracking and the depths of the cracks being observed. 

In this section, general mathematical formulations and graphic interpretations are presented for several resilience analysis problems (1) feasibility test, (2) resilience (flexibility) test, (3) flexibility index, and (4) resilience index. 

The resilience (flexibility) test determines whether a HEN is resilient (flexible) throughout a specified uncertainty range 0,... 

A HEN is resilient in an expected uncertainty range 0(1) if and only if Fs 1. This is the same information which the resilience (flexibility) test gives. But the flexibility index tells us even more. For instance if F = 0.5, we know that the HEN is not resilient in the specified uncertainty range in addition, we know that the HEN can tolerate uncertainties only half as large as those expected. 

The active constraint strategy has been developed for both the resilience (flexibility) test and the flexibility index (Grossmann and Floudas, 1985, 1987). However, only the active constraint strategy for the resilience test will be discussed here. Recall that the resilience test is based upon a resilience measure x(d) ...

Stephanie Kwolek has seventeen patents, the first of which is for Kevlar. After creating a new polymer, she would spin them into fibers for strength and flexibility testing. Material for fibers of Kevlar was cloudy white instead of molasses brown, the first indication that she had uncovered an exceptional polymer. 

Flexibility test n. Test applied to films to ascertain if they are able to accommodate elongations without fracture. Flexibility is usually determined by bending the film, applied to a suitable piece of thin metal, around one or a series of rods or mandrels or a special conical mandrel in a specified time. Syn bend test. 

T-bend flexibility test n. Simple method for determining the flexibility of coatings by bending a coated metal test strip over itself. A panel is bent and pressed flat by means of a jig to achieve a 180° bend. Subsequent folds are equivalent to bending the panel around a rod of diameter equal to the thickness of the panel. 

PFA can be used up to 500°F/260°C. It lacks the physical strength of PTFE at elevated temperatures but has somewhat better physical and mechanical properties than FEP above 300°F/149°C. While PFA matches the hardness and impact strength of PTFE, it sustains only one quarter of the life of PTFE in flexibility tests. The physical and mechanical properties are shown in Table 3.19. PFA also... 

HM Testing (powered by Diploma ) combines a flexible test-editing program with a comprehensive gradebook for easy administration and tracking via print, network server, or the web. Questions can be selected based on their chapter, topic, format, and level of difficulty. Instructors can edit or author questions and can create several versions of the same test.You also have the option of accessing the test-bank content from Eduspace .

Flexibility tests range from the relatively simple mandrel bend where a cut piece of painted substrate is bent around a specified size cylindrical mandrel. The size of the mandrel selected is directly related to the degree of strain desired and typically increases as the temperature decreases. Because the relevance of this type of bend test is questionable in real-world testing, impact testing, especially at cold temperatures, has become more important. In a typical multiaxial...
