At the Institute of Polymeric Materials and Testing (IPMT) at Johannes Kepler University (JKU) in Linz, Austria, students now have access to three Instron electrodynamic testing systems to help them analyze the failure behaviors of polymers. Fracture mechanics testing of plastics is a major focus of the current research projects at the IPMT. The specific objective being the correlation between a relatively short-term, cyclic, alternating load applied in the laboratory and the durability of plastic applications under real life service conditions. Learn more about the testing being done at this facility and how the use of Instron systems help the students accomplish it.
