Crack Propagation and Fracture Mechanics Testing Device

STANDARDS ISO 12135, ASTM E399, BS 7448, ASTM E1820

In the last few years, research on fracture mechanics of materials such as crack propagation and fracture toughness has become particularly relevant in metallic materials like polymers or composite materials.

IBERTEST offers a complete high-tech solution covering all stages of the process using dynamic testing machines that allow the formation of the initial crack or crack by applying load cycles to standard samples equipped with a notch for material fatigue (pre-cracking). Conducting a static test and determining the fracture toughness of the material using the KIC or CTOD method.
