Sample Dimension

a) Tension or Compression [Rectangular Sample] based test: Length: 70 to 60mm, Width: 22 to 18mm; Thickness: 4 to 0.5mm

b) Compression [Cylindrical Sample] based test: Dia: 30 to 20mm, Length/Thickness: 30 to 5mm,

c) Three-Point bending [Rectangular Sample] based test: Length: 60 to 100mm, Width: 20 to 10mm, Thickness: 12 to 8mm


Further, Sample dimension customization as per preferences/standards such as ASTM can be prepared by discussing with Faculty in charge Dr. Poornesh Kumar Koorata, Dept of Mechanical Engg, NITK.

Note: Additional Test Input Parameters shall be provided as per the selection of test along with the sample for either DMA, Fatigue and Creep test.
