MOUNTING FOAMS: MAKING OF SPECIMENS AND MECHANICAL TESTING

The article deals with the design of technology production polyurethane foam (PU) specimens and their mechanical testing. A simple procedure is proposed to produce complex shapes. tested on two different mounting foams. These were subjected several experiments. presents experimental results for only one foam. tests performed a Testometric M500-50CT testing machine. Specifically, these are tensile/compression test, 3-point bending shear modified indentation test. For each specimen, displacement was also measured in selected area Digital Image Correlation Method. data presented article.
