To be NADCAP compliant, aerospace companies need to pass a checklist for mechanical tensile testing to ensure correct alignment.
Instead of a simple uniaxial test, a cruciform, or cross-shaped plate, with four actuators helps with testing structures for multi-axial stress.
Plastics have proven to be the predominant material for developing durable, highly customizable, and cost-effective interior components. Corrosion resistant properties allow finished components to last longer with little to no maintenance. The versatility of plastic allows automotive designers to customize interiors while maintaining low costs.
