Tensile Test of Automotive Components

During testing, the elongation at break of elastomers is a critical property used by tire manufacturers to predict tire performance in service.

Tensile Test of Tire Rubber

Rubber materials typically undergo significant thinning during tensile testing, which causes the material to extrude from the test fixtures, leading to slippage and invalid test results.However, over-tightening the sample in the fixtures can result in jaw breakage and premature failure.

Tensile Test of Composite Laminates

Automotive manufacturers are increasingly adopting new materials to achieve vehicle lightweighting and emission reduction.Among these new materials, continuous carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites offer tremendous potential for lightweight structures; however, numerous barriers remain to their widespread adoption.Currently, the cost and processing time of composite components are significantly higher than those of traditional metal components, and they require novel recycling technologies.
