Reverse engineering mechanical properties of elastomers
by Nuri Akgerman and Ismail Saltuk, Tavdi.
The DeMattia fatigue test method is one of the leading techniques used to determine the fatigue resistance of materials, particularly rubber. The DMYO-V (Dynamic Mechanical Yerzley Oscillograph-V) is a desktop device which determines the mechanical properties of rubbers and elastomers under dynamic conditions and always at the natural frequency of the system. A dynamic compression or shear test usually takes less than 5 seconds, and evaluated results are instantly available. A static hysteresis test, as well as a creep test, are also available. This device is compatible with ASTM D945-22.
