High Speed Compressibility of Foams and Elastomers


Test ID

M-231

Description

A Dynatup 8250 drop tower is used to determine and report a compressive stress/strain curve.  The test is performed at a constant velocity.  Load and corresponding specimen deflection are recorded.  Five replicates are performed.

Options

Standards

  • ASTM D575
  • ISO 604

Data

Compressive Modulus, Compressive Ultimate Strength, Engineering Compressive Stress-Strain Curves, Offset Yield Strain in Compression, Offset Yield Stress in Compression, Strain at Ultimate, True Compressive Stress-Strain Curves. This data appears in Matereality as Compressive Properties.

Replicates

Number of times this test is repeated: 5

Samples

10 prisms [details]

Application

This test provides high strain rate stress-strain data which can be used in a foam modeling for the simulation of impact situations.
