Cyclic Mullins EffectM-621

Description

A tensile specimen is loaded into pneumatic grips and pulled to a strain level 1/10 that of the requested strain and then unloaded. This samples is then reloaded to the same strain level a total of 5 times. The specimen is then loaded to 2/10 of the specified strain and repeated. The cyclic testing is then repeated for each of the ten strain levels.
