APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF LEATHER AND SIMILAR SOFT COMPOSITES

摘要

FIELD: physics. ^ SUBSTANCE: apparatus has a clamp mechanism for holding material, an indenter for loading with possibility of measuring its displacement and recording information into a processor. A sensor is built into the indenter, said sensor being sensitive to the spectrum of acoustic emission generated by a sample upon change of deformation characteristics thereof. The clamp mechanism is in form of two coaxially placed cups with built-in heating elements with a controlled temperature range and a sensor for said temperature. ^ EFFECT: broader technological capabilities of the apparatus and high measurement accuracy. ^ 2 dwg
