Material testing system

Mechanical Properties. Mechanical properties obtained on the cured resins included tensile strength and fracture toughness. Tensile tests were run on an Instron model 1122 Universal Tester with a crosshead speed of 0.02 /minute. Tests were run on dry and saturated samples in air. Fracture toughness (K ) values have been obtained using a MTS 610 Materials Testing System at 0.02 /minute at ambient and elevated temperatures in air. The compact tensile specimens tested were 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.125 in dimension. Mechanical properties data are based on the results from four or more tests run at each condition.

The method utihzed for determining the axial and transverse components of the strain tensor in the above-specified RVE has been patented recently (26) as a novel option of the video-controlled materials testing system, VideoTraction , designed by two of the authors (C.G s. and J.M.H.) and licensed to the Apollor Co. (Vandoeuvre, France). We recall below briefly the main features of the method. 

Composite and reference handsheets (80 g/m ) were produced in a standard handsheet mould with the addition of retention aid. The samples were pressed twice in a material testing system (MTS) press at an impulse of 3.3 mPa/0.02 s with two blotting papers on each side. The handsheets were dried under standard conditions in a dmm drier. 

Three-point bending tests on X-aerogel beam specimens with nominal dimensions of 8.6 X 8.6 X 48 mm were conducted on an Instron material testing system at room temperature (21°C) and at —196°C. Figure 22.4 shows the stress-strain curves obtained through three-point bending tests of X-SiOx and X-VOx at room temperature and cryogenic...

The strength of adhesion can be measured using an automated materials testing system, such as the one described in Chapter 16. By pulling the bond apart (e.g., by applying axial tension), the work of adhesion can be measured. Peel tests are also commonly done, and these largely resemble pulling a piece of tape (or a Band-Aid ) off a surface. 

Methods from the theory of LTI-systems are practicable for eddy-current material testing problems. The special role of the impulse response as a characteristic function of the system sensor-material is presented in the theory and for several examples. 

Despite variatioas ia hardness test procedures and the variations ia physical properties of the materials tested, hardness conversions from one test to another are possible (see ASTM E140 and Table 2). This approximate relationship is only consistent within a single-material system, eg, iron, steel, or aluminum.

Eor the selective pre-concentration of deactivated phenols a new silica-based material with the grafted 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazole was proposed. This method is based on the formation of molecular chai ge-transfer comlexes of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazole (7t-acceptor) with picric acid (7t-donor) in the phase of the sorbent. Proposed SPE is suitable for HPEC analysis of nitrophenols after their desorption by acetonitrile. Test-system for visual monitoring of polynitrophenols under their maximum concentration limits was developed using the proposed adsorbent. 

To eharaeterize the quality of test-system the notion relative width of UR region was suggested for the first time. The less the value of UR region relative width is the test-system the more tolerant to the random interferenees and better in analytieal sense. In the work the dependenee of LDC on the reaetion type, observation eondition of test-means staining, the earrier material type, UR region relative width and the number of observations was analysed. 

The flowsheet for the recommended test system appears on the next page in Figure 4.2.1. Parts mentioned in the bill of materials below the flowsheet are examples for success l models. Other good parts can also be used.
