Mechanical Testing of Medical Implants

Mechanical Testing of Medical Implants

Implants and the materials used for their production undergo extensive tests, which include the evaluation of the static and dynamic mechanical properties of the raw materials, components and systems. Many of these tests are internationally standardized, other testing proceduresare specific to a given application.

CEAST AlOxide® performs HDT and Vicat Tests at up to 500 °C

CEAST AlOxide® performs HDT and Vicat Tests at up to 500 °C

The newly developed Instron CEAST AlOxide® thermal tester determines the Vicat softening temperature and HDT heat deflection temperature of plastics at temperatures up to 500 °C, allowing measurements to be conducted even on highly temperature resistant thermoplastics such as PEEK. Unlike conventional instruments, which use silicone oil as heating medium and typically offer maximum temperatures of 300 °C, the Instron CEAST AlOxide uses heat-resistant aluminium oxide powder in a fluid bed. The method is expected to be adopted in the relevant European standards in the near future.

Composite Test Fixtures Two Rail Shear ASTMD4255

Composite Test Fixtures Two Rail Shear ASTMD4255

ASTM D 4255 describes both 2 Rail and 3 rail methods of determining the in-plane shear strength of a composite laminate panel. In the 2 Rail test (Method A) a laminate panel specimen is clamped between loading plates and yokes and then subject to shear loading. Measurement of shear strain requires the use of strain gauges on the specimen.
