Determination of mechanical properties
We offer a wide range of services to determine the mechanical properties for the evaluation or validation of your materials (metals, plastics, composite materials, etc).
Our Services
- Determination of strength and stiffness (modulus of elasticity), e.g. by using:
- Tensile test
- Compression test to determine compressive properties
- Bending test (3- and 4-point flexural testing)
- Shear test (e.g. VNRS or Iosipescu to determine the shear properties)
- Determination of the energy release rate (e.g. DCB or ENF test)
- Determination of drape properties (e.g. shear frame tests)
- Tests conducted in the temperature range from -40 °C to 250 °C
- Selected tests at up to 900 °C
- Additional tests:
Round robin tests
Examples
Tested tube sample with strain gauges
4-point bending test on a fibre composite specimen
The LZS test team is always available for inquiries and individual consultation.
