Synchrotron SAXS-straining

Martin, C., Eeckhaut, G., Mahendrasingam, A., Blundell, D. J., Fuller, W., etal. (2000), Micro-SAXS and force/strain measurements during the tensile deformation of single struts of an elastomeric polyurethane foam, J. Synchrotron Radio., 1,245-53. 

The tensile tests in the synchrotron beam have been carried out at constant crosshead speeds of (1 mm/s). The stress-strain curves recorded during the experiments are shown in Fig. 4.4. The SAXS tests have been stopped when the samples slipped...
