SUMMARYThe use of a durometer to assess hardness of onion bulbs is described, and compared with the use of a tensile testing machine. Results from the two tests were closely correlated, and significant varietal differences were detected in bulb hardness by both machines. The durometer is of particular value because of the simplicity and non-destructive nature of the test procedure.

Fisher’S Criterion

The article contains the analysis of thermoplastics used in prototyping machine parts. We used several types of experimental samples with different filling percentages. The equipment on which the experimental studies were carried out is shown. During the experiment, a specialized tensile testing machine was used. The experimental samples were installed in the developed centering device. Normal conditions were observed during the tests. The results of an experimental tensile study of PLA-plastic specimens are presented. The typical stress-strain diagram of an experimental sample is described, which describes the dependence of stress on relative deformation. An equation of the linear dependence of the tensile strength on the percentage of filament filling has been compiled, which makes it possible to determine the tensile strength of the product at any percentage of the filling of the plastic filament. The assessment is adequately verified by Fisher's criterion. Recommendations for filament filling in prototyping machine parts are given.

 This study aimed to decide how to design a kart chassis and the strength of the welded joints. In this design, the chassis frame is made of tubular profile steel, which is designed to withstand most of the loads in a vehicle. The chassis was designed using a computer application, namely Auto CAD 2007. Assembly using carbon steel pipes connected using SMAW welding with E6013 RB 2.6 mm welding wire with a current of 75 A, 1G place. The test is carried out with a tensile testing machine. The material is pulled past the most stretch elasticity limit until finally, the specimen reaches the limit (breaks). The tensile test takes about 3-5 minutes with a load of 10-20N. The test results show the average tensile strength of the iron pipe is 0.512 Mpa.

Characterization Of Materials

The main limitation of mechanical testing equipments is nowadays centred in the characterization of materials at medium loading rates. This is particularly important in bulk forming because strain rate can easily reach values within the aforesaid range. The aim of this article is twofold: (a) to present the development of a low-cost, flexible drop weight testing equipment that can easily and effectively replicate the kinematic behaviour of presses and hammers and (b) to provide a new level of understanding about the mechanical characterization of materials for bulk forming at medium rates of loading. Special emphasis is placed on the adequacy of test operating conditions to the functional characteristics of the presses and hammers where bulk forming takes place and to its influence on the flow stress. This is needed because non-proportional loading paths during bulk forming are found to have significant influence on material response in terms of flow stress. The quality of the flow curves that were experimentally determined is evaluated through its implementation in a finite-element computer program and assessment is performed by means of axisymmetric upset compression with friction. Results show that mechanical characterization of materials under test operating conditions that are similar to real bulk forming conditions is capable of meeting the increasing demand of accurate and reliable flow stress data for the benefit of those who apply numerical modelling of process design in daily practice.

Polymer Nanowires

We present results on the mechanical properties of single freestanding poly-furfuryl alcohol (PFA) nanowires (aspect ratio > 50, diameters 100–300 nm) from experiments conducted using a MEMS-based uniaxial tensile testing device in-situ inside the SEM. The specimens tested were pyrolyzed PFA nanowires (pyrolyzed at 800° C).
