DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7354903· OSTI ID:7354903
Compression and tensile properties of RX-03-BB, Blend 9 were measured at various test speeds. The results show that RX-03-BB mechanical properties are very insensitive to strain rate. Therefore, the tensile and compression test speeds will be increased to 0.008 mm/s and 0.021 mm/s, respectively, for RX-03-BB screening evaluation tests. This will significantly increase the testing rate for RX-03-BB.
