The present invention discloses a bending test apparatus and method for a flexible sheet material. The apparatus comprises a mounting table and further comprises a clamping unit and a bending shaft unit. The clamping unit comprises a clamping part. The bending shaft unit comprises a bending shaft extending in a Z-axis direction. The bending shaft has an arc-shaped sidewall for abutting against a flexible sheet material at an end thereof away from the clamping part. The clamping part moves relative to the bending shaft in a Y-axis direction. The present invention has the following advantage: During a test, a flexible sheet material is bent with a lower external strain, has a wide adjustment curvature range, and the structure is optimized.

A double-cross composite fabric membrane biaxial tensile strength test piece is provided, including a core region and four cantilevers. The four cantilevers extend outwards around the core region and form a cross shape. Each cantilever is connected to the core region via an edge transition region. An end portion of the cantilever is a clamping section. The clamping section is provided with a clamping end rubber rod. The clamping end rubber rod is used for connecting to a clamp of a biaxial tensile testing machine. The clamping section is three-layered. The cantilever and the edge transition region are double-layered. The core region is single-layered. The edge transition region is in the shape of a quadrangle rounded at four corners. A manufacturing method of the test piece is also provided.

A system and method for automated transfer of a tape segment onto the face of a tissue block to be thin sectioned by microtomy includes applying, to a carrier strip, a plurality of serially-spaced patches of sample tape having an adhesive outer surface, transporting the carrier strip along a path adjacent to and spaced from the exposed sample surface to position one of the patches of sample tape adjacent to and covering the exposed sample surface, adhering the one of the patches of sample tape to the exposed sample surface.

The system may include a tensile testing system configured to stretch the film sample and determine a physical characteristic of the film sample. The system may include a movable system coupled to the material holder system and configured to move the held film sample to be analyzed or tested between stations. The movable system is configured to move the held film sample in the material holder system to the tensile testing system.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a chemically-strengthened glass exhibiting both surface strength and abrasion-resistant anti-fingerprint (AFP) properties. The present invention relates to a plate-shaped chemically-strengthened glass which has a compressive stress layer provided to a glass surface layer, a glass surface hydrogen concentration profile in a specific range, and a surface strength and abrasion-resistant anti-fingerprint (AFP) properties which are in specific ranges.

A method of testing a multi-specimen additive manufacturing build plate includes acquiring and installing the multi-specimen build plate in a test system, aligning one or more force exertion tools with respective selected specimens, imparting a force on the selected specimen(s), collecting test data from each selected specimen, and analyzing the collected data to identify a potential correlation between material behavior for the selected specimen and its applied manufacturing build parameter(s). A system and a non-transitory medium are also disclosed.

A method is provided for increasing accuracy in measuring complex Young's modulus and complex shear modulus of a material using a processing system. The material is tested to obtain an experimental frequency response transfer function of normal displacement to input force. A model panel is developed in the processing system as a modeled frequency response transfer function. The modeled transfer function is used at a range of fixed frequencies to calculate displacements of the model panel divided by the input force while varying material parameters. The modeled frequency response transfer function is compared with the experimental frequency response transfer function to compute error function values. These values indicate the most accurate material property values as those minimizing the computed error function values.

A strain state of a bending outside surface of a test specimen is photographed by use of a camera without falling out of focus during a bending test. A bending test facility for a metal sheet material for an automobile body includes a supporting member that supports two supported portions of a flat test specimen formed of the metal sheet material for an automobile body, a punch for performing a bending test in which an area between the two supported portions of the test specimen is pressed from an opposite side to the supporting member so that the test specimen is bent to be deformed, and a camera for photographing, from the side of the supporting member, a bending outside surface of the test specimen during the bending test using the punch, with relative positions of the punch and the camera during the bending test being fixed.

A test system and a test method for a lip sticking force of tipping paper for cigarettes are provided. The test system includes an artificial lip and test equipment. The artificial lip is a silica gel block. The test equipment includes a friction meter testing platform, a force measuring sensor, a rigid rope, a pulley, a pulley bracket and a sample loading module. The pulley is installed on the pulley bracket, and the rigid rope slides in the pulley. The rigid rope is L-shaped, a first end of the rigid rope in a horizontal direction is connected to the force measuring sensor, and a second end of the rigid rope in a vertical direction is connected to the sample loading module. The artificial lip is located directly below the sample loading module, and the artificial lip is in contact with the sample loading module at a test position.

The device (9) includes a feed path (P) of the logs (R), configured to feed the logs in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the logs; and one or more pick-up members (27) spaced from one another in a direction transverse to the feed path (P) of the logs (R). The pick-up members are adapted to pick up individual logs (R) from a pick-up position along the feed path (P); and transfer each log (R) from the measuring position back to the feed path substantially in the position in which it was picked up.
