tensile testing machine for small specimens/films

RobertS — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 02:42:45 -0400

Hello,
I' am working for Zwick/Roell in Germany and we are producing tensile testing machines. For your application I need some more information like temperature range, temperature rate, maximum tensile strength etc..

Please feel free to contact me directly robert.strehle@zwick.com

Best regards

Robert

You may try Nano Solutions Technology or Correlated Solutions. The following couple of papers may help as well. Thanks.

Nanograin Rotation and Deformation in Nacre, " Nano Letters, 6 (2006)
2301-2304.

I intend to do some tensile testing on some composite materials with very small thickness (about 0.5-1mm) and size 3 cm x 1 cm in a temperature ramp mode. I would like to know the name of such a testing machine or contact if any one has the same?
