This study successfully synthesized fluorinated silicon-containing waterborne polyurethanes (FSWPUs) by using polycaprolactone (PCL) diol, 2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoro-1,4-butanediol, and [3-(2-Aminoethylamino)propyl] trimethoxysilane (AEAPTES ). The FSWPU’s particle size was examined using dynamic light scattering. After the FSWPUs were processed into a dry film, their molecular weight and basic properties were analyzed using gel permeation chromatography (GPC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Additionally, the thermal stability of the FSWPUs was inspected by thermogravimetric analysis and dynamic mechanical analysis. The tensile strength and elongation at the break of the FSWPUs before and after hydrolysis were also analyzed, using a tensile testing machine. Subsequently, FSWPU emulsions were cast between the tiles, and hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, and surface tension were then measured on a contact-angle measurement instrument. The tensile testing machine was again employed to test the sheer strength of the FSWPUs between the tiles, and a tape test was conducted to analyze their adhesion to the tiles. The results revealed that AEAPTES functional groups can reinforce the thermal stability, tensile strength, and water resistance of FSWPUs. Moreover, the AEAPTES functional groups increased the adhesion of FSWPUs to the tiles and reduced the surface energy of the tiles.

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.

Waterborne polyurethane waterproofing composite has been prepared using polyurethane emulsion, cement, sand, and distilled water as raw materials, respectively. The compression performance of the samples has been determined by tensile testing machine. The microstructure of the samples has been observed by metallographic microscope. At the same time, the water resisting property of samples has been presented. The result shows that the surface of samples becomes the more smoothing with the increase ratio of cement to sand. The best compressive strength and water resisting property have been obtained when the weight of polyurethane emulsion to distilled water was 1:5 and the ratio of sand to cement was 2.1:1.

The effects of coarse-grained ring on the mechanical properties and cutting performance of 2011 aluminum alloy extruded bars were studied by metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope, tensile testing machine and high-speed lathe. The results show that the microstructure of aluminum alloy extruded bar was composed of α-Al phase, Al7Cu2Fe phase, CuAl2 phase and SnBi eutectic phase. There was a coarse-grained ring in the aluminum alloy extruded bar. The coarse-grained ring reduced the mechanical properties and cutting performance of the aluminum alloy extruded bar. The aluminum alloy extruded bar with a diameter of 30 mm had a coarse-grained ring depth of 9 mm and lower mechanical properties, whose the tensile strength was 287.9 MPa, the elongation was 17%, the cutting performance was poor and the chips were long. The aluminum alloy extruded bar with a diameter of 40 mm had a coarse-grained ring depth of 1 mm, higher mechanical properties and better cutting performance, whose the tensile strength was 394.5 MPa, the elongation was 23.5%, the chips were fine and uniform.

Background: In this study, biomechanical strength and bulkiness of the cow-hitch technique and Pulvertaft weave were compared. Our goal was to investigate whether the cow hitch can withstand equal strength in comparison with the Pulvertaft and to see if there is a difference in bulk, which could enhance gliding function and reduce friction and adhesion formation. Methods: Sheep tendons were used to perform 10 cow-hitch and 10 Pulvertaft repairs. Tensile strength was obtained with a cyclic loading tensile testing machine and tendon width and height measurements were obtained through digital analysis by photographs of the repairs. Results: The cow hitch showed significantly better ultimate strength and had less bulk. There was no statistical difference in displacement, defined as gain in total length of the tendon. Conclusions: The results in this study show that the cow hitch outperforms the Pulvertaft weave in both ultimate strength and bulk.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to present the design and manufacturing process of a tensile testing machine capable of measuring the tensile strength of polymeric materials. The structure of the instrument is similar to that used in the industry; however, it is budget friendly. The instrument consists of a frame, and two screws which are driven by two stepper motors. An Arduino is used to control the mechanical part of the instrument and to connect it to the software.

Experiments of tensile mechanical properties of steel 0Cr18Ni9 are done on the MTS 810 tensile testing machine, and the temperature range is from 20°C to 1200°C. The stress vs. strain curves are obtained. Results show that the elastic modulus, yield stress and tensile strength decrease with increasing temperature .Based on the experiment results, the functions of the elastic modulus, yield strength and tensile strength versus temperature are represented by polynomial.

We evaluated the effect of length of suture embedment within tendons on the tensile strength of repaired tendons. Thirty fresh pig flexor tendons were divided into three groups and subjected to repairs with the Halsted tendon sutures in which 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 of the length of the longitudinal sutures was embedded within the tendons. The repaired tendons were pulled to complete failure by an Instron tensile testing machine. The 2 mm gap-formation force, ultimate strength, stiffness, and energy to failure were greatest when 2/3 of the suture length was embedded within the tendon. The results indicate that suture embedment is an important contributor to the tensile properties of the repair, and that increase in length of suture embedment is an effective way to strengthen tendon repairs.

The effects of La and Ce mixed rare earth on the microstructure and properties of Al-0.75Mg-0.6Si alloy were studied by optical microscopy, digital eddy current conductive instrument and tensile testing machine. Results showed that the addition of La and Ce mixed rare earth had a positive effect on the grain refinement of Al-0.75Mg-0.6Si alloy, which is beneficial to improve the electrical conductivity and strength. With increasing the additive amount of La and Ce mixed rare earth, the electrical conductivity, tensile strength and elongation of Al-0.75Mg-0.6Si alloy gradually increased. When the additive amount of La and Ce mixed rare earth increased to 0.5%, the electrical conductivity of Al-0.75Mg-0.6Si alloy was 55.7% IACS, the tensile strength and elongation of Al-0.75Mg-0.6Si alloy were 236 MPa and 16.7%, respectively. The electrical conductivity increased by 5.7%, tensile strength and elongation increased by 11.3% and 15.2% compared with that of Al-0.75Mg-0.6Si alloy without adding the La and Ce mixed rare earth.

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.
