PMIC has over 17 years of experience providing mechanical properties testing for our clients. Some of the common test methods include:
Specimens can be measured in:
- Tension
- Compression
- Bending
- Shear
Properties can include:
- Tensile Strength
- Modulus of Elasticity
- Strain Rate Sensitivity
- Flexural Strength
- Poisson’s Ratio
- Compression Strength
- Shear Modulus
- Elastic Constants
- Microyield Strength
- Creep Rates
- Low cycle fatigue
- Creep Rupture
Micro-yield testing – Gives an excellent measure of prior microcracking. It uses minimal short-term stresses to determine the stress level needed to impart a permanent or plastic strain of one part per million (microstrain).
Elevated or Cryogenic Temperatures – PMIC has the ability to provide mechanical testing both at elevated and cryogenic temperatures. Testing has been conducted from -253°C (20K) to 300°C (473K). Measurements at higher temperatures are possible, contact PMIC for more details.
Materials include:
- Plastics
- Laminates
- Sandwich Panels
- Metals
- Ceramics
- Fabrics
- Foams
- Films
PMIC can perform a wide variety of ASTM, ISO, Sacma, Boeing and other test methods.
