Hello all, i have access to tensile testing machines and i would like to compare the various flatband materials available, problem is i don't have a lot of flatband material. All i have is natural gum rubber rubber bands (#107's) and a sheet of 1/16" gum rubber. I'd like to test theraband gold, theraband black, other gum rubber samples, any other flat band material you would be interested in testing.
The results i can get are Tensile strength at peak, tensile at break, elongation, TEA (total energy absorbed), modulus of elasticity, etc, as well as the plot of the test. I'll write a report and post it to this site if i get enough samples to make it interesting. this is where i need your help.
What I need:
If you have material that you want included i need 3 samples that are 5/8" wide and 4" long (the results will be an average of three tests).
So if you are willing to donate a small bit of flat band material in the name of slingshot science send me a personal message.
thanks in advance, Dan.
