Modern Trends in the Development of Methods and Means of Experimental Mechanics. Part 1

Abstract

The article considers a number of new directions in the development of methods and means of experimental mechanics. A brief analysis of the trends is given. They are: a) the size reduction of objects (models, samples) of laboratory tests, their unification, as well as the associated miniaturization of equipment and measuring instruments, b) the emergence and development of methods for experimental research of the mechanical characteristics of nanomaterials. When analyzing the trend (a), the characteristics of the EM-6705 installation developed at the Planar JSC are given. The installation is designed to control the strength of wire bridges in electronic products, control the shear strength of bulk leads and determine the relative elongation of the wire. It is as well intended for use in a personal testing center for wear-fatigue testing of materials created for universities by joint efforts of Belarusian State University, S&P GROUP TRIBOFATIGUE Ltd. and the Joint Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the NAS of Belarus within the framework of the task of the State Scientific and Technical Program “Standards and Scientific Instruments”. A brief description is given for the methods of the experimental study of mechanical properties and deformation behavior at the micro- and nanoscale structural levels.
