How to predict the mechanical propeties of drawn wires
Dear Mechanicians,
Do you know how to predict the mechanical properties of wire after being drawn with several dies ? especially with Duplex stailess steel material.

can any one suggest me a tensile testing machine for small specimens/films witha temperature ramp facility
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?

Hi Every one,
It is immense pleasure to meet all you in this technical forum.
I have a basic query in strength of materials
This is about of short beam
Beam dimensions are
L=7.375 mm
Dia =15.05 mm
Tip Force=27514 N
For the above beam, following are the geometrical properties
area=177.894 mm^2
IZZ=2518 mm^4

Defining Tensile/Compression Strength for Plastics in ABAQUS
Hi.
This is a simple question about defining material properties of a plastic I guess.
I have a value for tensile & compression strength and have to include this in my model, alongside the modulus & poisson ratio. I use *Elastic for modulus & poisson, but I don't know which card to use for tensile & compression.
Have already checked the manual, but the search 'tensile compression strength' leads me to the Hashin criteria page, which is not suitable for my material.
Can anyone help?

Simulating impact condition
Forums
Is it possible to produce a small scale prototype to support the experimental work? If it is made a small scale sample,is it possible to simulate the required impact force or crash force to real size condition? what is the desired equation in simulating the impact condition?
