Multipurpose mechanical testing

The single-column testing system (Instron model 3342) allows to quickly and efficiently meet the requirements of tensile, compression, peel, tear, friction and cyclic tests. The test control, data acquisition, graphing, calculation, and report generation can be done manually or automatically.

• Testing speed range: 0.05 to 1000 mm/min 
• Repeatability of speed: ± 0.2 % of set speed.
• Repeatability of displacement measurement: ± 0.02 mm or 0.15% of displacement (whichever is greater).
• Tension/Compression S-Beam Load Cell, Capacity 100 N
• Repeatability of force measurment: ± 0.5% of reading down to 1/200th of load cell capacity / ± 1.0% of reading down to 1/500th of load cell capacity
• Additional Accessory
  • Coefficient of Friction Fixture
  • 90 Degree Angle Peel Fixture 

An energy harvesting system is developed on a stretchable textile. To evaluate the change in the elastic modulus on the deposition of the piezoelectric material is evaluated. In addition, the strain dependent charge generation is measured so that the apparent piezo-coefficient for this type of excitation is determined.
