Mechanical characterizations

Characterization methods and standards

We intervene as much during the preparation of samples to test as during their characterization.
To do this, we calibrate, dimension, and implement the test pieces as well as the assemblies necessary for their evaluation according to the chosen methods, among which we can mainly cite:

  • ASTM C365 Standard test Method for Flatwise Compressive Properties of Sandwich Cores,
  • ASTM C273 Standard test Method for Shear Properties of Sandwich Core Materials,
  • ASTM D7336 Standard test Method for static Energy Absorption Properties of Honeycomb Sandwich Core Materials,

Testing equipment

We have on site all the test means allowing us to assess the main mechanical characteristics of soul materials:
Instron 5982 compression traction machine equipped with a 100-KN force cell, self-aligning joint compression trays, shear device, LVDT displacement sensors, etc.

We are also equipped with basic metrology tools to carry out the necessary dimensional checks (marble, digital backstage feet up to 800mm, comparators, very high precision micrometer, etc.).
