Static Testing Nylon Samples

Today I helped Luca out with tests he ran on his nylon samples. We used the static test machine to bring the samples to failure then recorded the point of failure. It was pretty cool to see the consistency of the material while also observing the slight differences between each individual sample. As every sample was exposed to different levels of stress and therefore is deformed in a different way than every other sample.

Tomorrow is my last day interning at ASU so I will make a post thanking everyone. Until then here are some pictures from the static testing today.

Thanks for reading,
