This video from ADMET shows the basics of conducting ASTM D695 rigid plastic compression testing. ASTM D695 covers mechanical properties of unreinforced and reinforced rigid plastics during ...

Compression testing is used to determine how a product or material reacts when it is compressed, squashed, crushed or flattened by measuring fundamental parameters that determine the specimen behavior ...

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...

To provide a comprehensive analysis of various materials, TC&A Lab has introduced compression testing services, allowing for a thorough examination of the mechanical properties of metals, plastics, ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

In this interview, Sammi Sadler, Senior Applications Engineer at Instron, provides insights into how automation is being introduced for plastics testing and the opportunities this can bring. How would ...
