Fatigue testing machine for elastomers

In the context of a new partnership agreement between 01dB-Metravib and the Laboratory for Research and Control on Rubbers and Plastics (LRCCP), the LRCCP has purchased a crack growth testing machine DMA +300 developed by 01dB-Metravib.

The DMA +300 is a dynamic testing machine dedicated to the fatigue analysis of materials. It allows measuring of the propagation rate of a crack initiated on elastomer specimens under controlled temperature, frequency and energy recovery ratio conditions, and this for various periodic loads. Directly related to the intrinsic fatigue properties of the materials, these measurements can be used to compare elastomers based materials on their composition, fabrication quality (dispersion, vulcanisation), ageing, etc.
