Mechanical Stress Testing of Materials Validates Finite Element Analysis

This webinar will focus on mechanical stress testing of elastic materials. The data obtained is used to validate FEA models for material development and testing. You will learn what is needed to perform such tests including selecting appropriate strain gauge rosettes, various modes of strain gauge connectivity, data acquisition setup, acquiring strain data and calculating principal stress. In addition, we will discuss how to determine the von Mises reference stress, class counting and sector monitoring.
