Polymer Testing for Aerospace Applications

Space research and application demands stringent requirements from

materials, making it imperative that they are tested rigorously, by
multiple methods and techniques to fully characterize their
performance and their ability to handle degradation, mechanical
fatigue under extreme conditions.

AdvanSES provides full mechanical characterization of specialty

polymers, rubber and in-homogeneous materials, for use in demanding
atmospheric and space applications. Mechanical fatigue testing is a
core area for us and we can test materials for HCF, LCF as well as
elevated temperatures.

We can provide the following testing protocols for your rubbery

materials;

1) Uniaxial Tension Test as per ASTM D412

2) Compression Test as per ASTM D575
3) Tear Test as per ASTM D624
4) Crompression Stress Relaxation Test as per ASTM D6147
5) Dynamic Viscoelastic Test ASTM D5992
6) Hyperelastic Material Constants
7) Axial Fatigue as per ASTM D7791
