Compressive Properties of Elastomers
Test ID
M-212
Description
A universal testing machine (UTM) is used to determine compressive stress/strain curves. Test specimens are typically compression buttons. The test is performed with crosshead compressing at constant velocity.
Options
The test may be performed using sandpaper (per ASTM standard) to prevent lateral slippage, or lubrication may be used to create the uniaxial compression state required for structural analysis - please indicate in the Instructions which method is to be use
Standards
- ASTM D575
Data
Compressive Modulus, Compressive Strength at Yield, Cyclic Engineering Stress v. Strain Curves, Engineering Compressive Stress-Strain Curves, Offset Yield Strain in Compression, Offset Yield Stress in Compression, Strain at Ultimate. This data appears in Matereality as Compressive Properties.
Replicates
Number of times this test is repeated: 5
Samples
