Testing of biomaterials and polymers
Sonelastic® Systems are an advanced and non-destructive solution with excellent cost-benefit ratio for elastic moduli and damping characterization of biomaterials and polymers. It characterize the dynamic elastic moduli (Young's Modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio) and damping simultaneously.
The Sonelastic® Systems employ the Impulse Excitation Technique in accordance with ASTM E1876 and provides highly accurate and reproducible results. The elastic moduli and damping characterization reveals information about the microstructure, presence and evolution of cracks, microcracks and defects in the material, as well as on phase transformations, curing and drying processes. Additionally, elastic moduli characterization contributes to increase the accuracy of finite element analyses (FEA).
Applications
Sonelastic® Systems have a wide range of applications for biomaterials and polymers:- Characterization of the dynamic elastic moduli to refine finite element analyses (FEA/FEM).
- Study of degradation by weathering.
- Evaluation of thermochemical treatments.
- Study of temperature and mineral fillers influence on mechanical properties.
- Defects detection.
- Monitoring of curing and drying processes.
- Quality control.
