Tension/ Compression
Derive typical modulus, yield and ultimate strength of a variety of materials as a function displacement or strain rates.
Bending
Characterize material fracture properties and crack growth behavior in standard 3 or 4 point bend geometries.
Stress Relaxation
Perform tests on specimens that exhibit mechanical changes under constant loads or strain.
Torsion
Tests to describe strength and shear properties, and torsional modulus, of materials and components.
Shear
Measure shear properties, or use shear to estimate other material properties not normally attainable.
Pulsatile
Use pressure to estimate cyclic radial distension of tubular components such as stent technology or biological vascular specimens.
