Development Of A Portable Low Strain Rate Testing Machine

Slow strain rate testing, is important in understanding the mechanical behaviour of material. It entails applying a slow dynamic strain with a constant extension rate to a specimen. Typical Universal Tensile Machine (UTM) can be used to determine the strain rate of a material. However, a machine tha...
