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 ...

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, ...

ASTM D 695 1, “Compressive Properties of Rigid Plastics,” defines the end-loading compression test method familiar to the composites community. It was introduced by ASTM Committee D20-Plastics more ...

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 ...

Finite-element analysis (FEA) is an indispensable tool for predicting a product’s behavior in real-world situations and over time. However, an FEA model is only as good as the material parameters it’s ...
