Mechanical Tests
Tensile Test
How to test it
Probably not needed since the push rod will be under constant compression
Flexural Test
three-point and four-point bend testing according to ISO 14,125, ISO 178, ASTM D 790, and ASTM D 6272
parameters for this test are the support span, the speed of the loading, and the maximum deflection for the test
Impact Test
Compression Test
End loading
Sheer loading
ASTM D 695, ASTM D 3410, and ISO 14,126.
