Methods

Mechanical and mechanical-technological tests

The determination of strength, stiffness, toughness, ductility or hardness is of considerable importance for the application-related behavior of a material or product. Various methods can be used to characterize material properties or to check the final product characteristics. Some mechanical test methods can also provide information on several properties at the same time. For example, tensile tests can be used to determine both tensile strength and characteristic values such as modulus of elasticity, yield strength or elongation at break.

The following mechanical tests are carried out particularly frequently as part of plastic characterization:

Tensile test
Determination of tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, yield strength, elongation at break and other material parameters
Compression and bending test
Determination of compressive strength and flexural strength
Impact and notched bar impact test
Determination of the resistance of a specimen to an impact or high-speed load
Dynamic tests
Determination of mechanical properties under periodic loading
(e.g. bending, tension, shear or compression)
