Elastic Materials Measuring Modulus Tensile Tensile testing Testing

AI Thread Summary

To obtain a more precise measure of the elastic modulus in tensile testing, utilizing advanced measurement techniques and high-precision instrumentation is essential. Employing a tensile testing machine with enhanced accuracy can significantly improve results. Additionally, increasing the number of specimens tested can provide a more reliable average value. Exploring different measuring apparatuses, such as digital extensometers or laser-based systems, can also yield better precision. Overall, a combination of improved equipment and methodologies is key to achieving more accurate measurements of elastic modulus.

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
