Compressione
Il test di compressione è un modo per determinare la reazione di un oggetto quando gli viene applicata una forza di compressione. In genere si tratta di misurare la relazione tra la forza applicata e la deformazione dell'oggetto.

Carico dall'alto
Le prove di carico dall'alto (note anche come "schiacciamento della colonna" e "resistenza alla forza assiale") vengono eseguite principalmente su contenitori in plastica soffiati, termoformati o stampati a iniezione.

Jaws
Choosing the most appropriate jaw type for a tensile grip can be tricky. It is a balance between having sufficient hold of the specimen to prevent it slipping and not having too ‘aggressive’ a hold which damages the specimen.

Why is the trapezoidal tear test important?
Tear resistance is a critical measure of a material’s durability, particularly in applications where the material may be subject to punctures, cuts, or repeated stress.

How the single rip trouser tear method works
The method takes its name from the specimen shape, where a single cut partway into the sample creates two ‘legs’, similar to the shape of a pair of trousers.
