Meet the Go Direct® Materials Test Frame, a versatile tabletop system designed for teaching and learning. In this video, learn how students can analyze stress‑strain behavior to characterize material stiffness and failure, and watch demonstrations of compression and tension testing.
Unlike research‑grade systems that often leave students watching as TAs demonstrate, the Go Direct Materials Test Frame is designed specifically for teaching laboratories–enabling multiple-station setups where students run experiments themselves.
- Compare the strength of different materials such as plastics, metals, composites, even student-designed and 3D-printed materials.
- Explore the transition between the elastic region and plastic deformation.
- Biomechanical Engineering: Characterize the mechanical behavior of biological tissues; compare the strength of healthy and diseased tissue.
Plus, access free biomechanics curriculum featuring the Go Direct Materials Test Frame developed by the University of Delaware.
