HIGH THROUGHPUT MECHANICAL RAPID SERIAL PROPERTY TESTING OF MATERIALS LIBRARIES

摘要

A library of materials is screened for mechanical properties such as strength, tack, frictional resistance or other properties. A library of material samples 152 is provided. A stimulus such as a stress or force is provided to each member of the library. A response (e.g., a strain) of each of the material samples 152 due to the stimulus is measured and the response, the stimulus or both are recorded and related to provide data. Thereafter, the data is analyzed to reach conclusions regarding properties of the material samples 152.
