Readily Change the Strain Profile
Change the strain profile of the Mechanics Module simply by exchanging the Teflon indenter:
Radial indenter for radial strain: εy = εx (PN: 15-22100)
Bar-shaped indenter for uniaxial strain: εy = 4εx (PN: 15-22200)
Custom indenter shapes for specific strain profiles (PN: 15-22300)
Indenters for Radial (left) and Uniaxial (right) Strain
