Instruments
Intrinsic Strength Analyser
- Measures cutting forces on an instrumented blade of controlled sharpness
- Indicates the threshold fracture mechanical strength of a polymer network (i.e. the mechanical fatigue threshold)
- Based on the Lake and Yeoh procedure

Tear & Fatigue Analyser
- Measures crack growth under dynamic loading cycles
- Produces the crack growth rate curve as a function of applied tearing energy
- Produces parameters for describing effects of strain-crystallization on crack growth
- Includes protocols for both fully relaxing (R=0) and nonrelaxing (R>0) conditions
Instrumented Chip & Cut Analyser
- Measures chip and cut resistance of rubber compounds under cyclic impact loadings
- Highly instrumented to enable control and measurement of forces and displacements during impact to mimic conditions experienced in demanding applications
- The instrument can be also be operated in full contact mode as a friction and wear measurement device
