High Speed Compressive Stress-Strain


Test ID

M-233

Description

An Instron 8872 servohydraulic UTM is used. The specimen is placed between compression platens and compressed to yield or failure. The test is performed at a constant velocity. 

Options

Standards

  • ASTM D695

Data

Compressive Modulus, Compressive Strain at Yield, Compressive Strength at Yield, 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

6 foam specimens [details]

Application

This test provides high strain rate stress-strain data for the simulation of impact situations. It is usually combined with stress-strain data spanning several decades of strain rates in order to create a rate dependant model of the material.
