Mechanical Property Test

Not to overload the Statidard, three supplements are predetermined for it. The Supplement A (compulsory ) with the list of statistics is due to compulsory determination by non-destructive magnetic method of mechanical properties test. This Supplement provided the possibility to set the reasonable compromise between two opposite tendencies -to simplify utmost a body of mathematics or, on the contrary, to complicate it to such extent that it becomes inaccessible. 

AWS) has issued specifications covering the various filler-metal systems and processes (2), eg, AWS A5.28 which appHes to low alloy steel filler metals for gas-shielded arc welding. A typical specification covers classification of relevant filler metals, chemical composition, mechanical properties, testing procedures, and matters related to manufacture, eg, packaging, identification, and dimensional tolerances. New specifications are issued occasionally, in addition to ca 30 estabUshed specifications. Filler-metal specifications are also issued by the ASME and the Department of Defense (DOD). These specifications are usually similar to the AWS specification, but should be specifically consulted where they apply. 

Traceability. The manufacturer shall have reports of chemical analysis, heat treatment, and mechanical property tests for the main load carrying components of the equipment. 

I wish to acknowledge the excellent contributions of Charles A. Tennesen for compounding and testing, Ray Skok for flammability testing, and John Jessup for mechanical property testing.

Mechanical Property Testing. Mechanical tests were performed on both unirradiated and irradiated materials at -157°C, 24°C, and 121°C. Specimens were kept dry prior to testing in an environmental chamber mounted in a tensile testing machine. Tensile test specimens of [0]4, [10]4, [45]4, and [90]4 laminates were cut from 4-ply composite panels. All specimens were straight-sided coupons. For tension and shear tests the length/width aspect ratio was 8. For the compression tests the aspect ratio was 0.25 and the unsupported length was 0.64 cm. The [0]4 laminates were used to measure the ultimate tension and compression strength, Xit the axial... 

Though these may provide a standard for screening production quality, they are merely representative. The flexural properties will be a consistent test of the many possible mechanical property testing modalities. Other areas of physical properties that are important to the success of a composite dental restorative are radiopacity, polymerization shrinkage and thermal interactions, e.g., thermal expansion and thermal diffusivity.

Dynamic mechanical property tests indicated that the storage modulus of the resulting nanocomposites at 20 wt% CNTs loading was improved by a factor of 3.4 compared with neat PC material, as shown in Figure 14.15. It was reported that PC/buckypaper samples... 

It is instructive to compare the TG and ITG performance of polybenzimidazoles with their behavior in mechanical property testing at different temperatures. Quite excellent high-temperature performance in air is reflected in the compressive strength data collected in Table 5 for a molded material of type... 

Physical properties were evaluated using standard DIN or ASTM specifications. The sealants were filled into Teflon molds to form homogeneous test pieces of comparable thickness. The specimens were then moisture cured and conditioned at 25 °C and 50% relative humidity for 14 days before mechanical property testing. The hardness of the cured sealant samples was measured by Shore A. Shelf life at 50 °C was determined for a maximum of 21 days. Tack-free times were determined by finger touch under ambient conditions. For adhesion testing the substrates were first wiped with either methyl ethyl ketone (aluminum, steel, glass, concrete, wood) or methanol (PVC, PMMA, ABS, polystyrene), then washed with detergent, rinsed with distilled water, and allowed to air dry prior to preparation of the test specimens. Specimens were cured for 14 days at ambient conditions. 

Compressive strength is the most frequently measured and specified mechanical property. Test specimens in the form of cubes or cylinders (of sizes specified in the respective standards) are cut directly from the blocks. The results show considerable scatter which mostly results from a non-homogeneous macrostructure or a non--uniform degree of sintering. In this respect, conditions of the manufacturing processes and the technological parameters can be inferred from the strength values. 

A compaction simulator must be able to mimic the full compression cycle of the unit operation. Early attempts at compaction simulation utilized mechanical property testing equipment (e.g., Instron and Lloyd type machines) to compact powders into compacts. Although these machines were well suited to apply appropriate compression loads, they were not designed for the high velocities and accelerations necessary to simulate the double-ended compression cycle of a rotary tablet press (2). 

Mechanical testing is used to qualify products for conformance with specified properties by means of standard procedures, using standardized, representative product samples. The results are reported on a mill test report (MTR) and indicate whether the product meets mechanical test requirements of the specification test requirements. Mechanical property test reporting is part of the purchase order. Tensile, hardness, and impact are the most common mechanical property tests. 

Note of the author This procedure was one of the most widely used of the mechanical property tests for wood-plastic composite (WPC) materials, as the specimen geometry is very simple as well as the testing equipment. However, it became more and more obvious that material properties, tested by this method, were not necessarily corresponding to the product properties, such as composite deck board.

There are of course many standard methods for carrying out natural or accelerated tests and time dependent mechanical property tests and for measuring the properties used to monitor degradation. These can be found in this volume and in other standard texts [4.5] and their use for weathering tests has been reviewed [6].
