Palm-sized tester for micro samples.A new line of palm-sized universal testing machines A Universal Testing Machine is used to test the tensile and compressive properties of materials. Such machines generally have two columns but single column types are also available. is designed for determining the mechanical properties of miniature specimens in tension, compression, or flexure flexure /flex·ure/ (flek´sher) a bend or fold; a curvation. caudal flexure the bend at the aboral end of the embryo. cephalic flexure the curve in the midbrain of the embryo. . The Micro EP from Admet Inc., Norwood, Mass., can exert forces as small as a few grams or as much as 5 kN on specimens that are generally a few centimeters in size. Micro EP test stages are available in 450 N and 5 kN capacities and are equipped with load and displacement displacement, in psychology: see defense mechanism. Same as offset. See base/displacement. transducers for generating stress-strain curves. Equipped with the company's MTESTWindows software, it can be programmed to conduct simple force or displacement tests to failure, or long-term ramp and hold or cyclic cyclic /cyc·lic/ (sik´lik) pertaining to or occurring in a cycle or cycles; applied to chemical compounds containing a ring of atoms in the nucleus. cy·clic or cy·cli·cal adj. 1. control profiles.
