High Split Hopkinson's Pressure Bar |
Two circular bars, with a specimen in between them, are instrumented with electrical-resistance strain gauges to measure the strain wave propagating in them when one end of them is stricken by a projectile. Hopkinson's pressure bar is commonly used for measuring the dynamic stress-strain relation of the specimen. |

MTS Insight 810 Materials Testing System |
Tensile testing is conducted on a wide variety of materials to determine properties such as ultimate tensile strength, yield strength and elongation at fracture. Various classes of materials have unique requirements with respect to specimen geometry, specimen gripping, test procedures and results that are determined. In general, however, tensile tests involve the application of a monotonic load or displacement to the specimen to the point of fracture. |

TMP 140 Ton Hot Vaccum Press |
The TMP 140 Ton Up-Acting Vacuum Press may be used to fabricate flat polymer composite test panels up to 30 inches x 30 inches. The maximum temperature of the platens is 800º (427ºC). The maximum applied force is 140 tons. The platen chamber may be operated either at ambient atmospheric pressure, or at full vacuum of approximately 28.5 in. Hg. The press may be operated manually, or in one of the three automatic modes (no heat, heat only, or heat and cool). Four temperature zones, hydraulic ram force, and vacuum level are recorded by a machine-dedicated PC.
