FIND THE RIGHT PRODUCT FOR YOUR BUSINESS
The automotive industry is strongly committed to ensuring that its products are safe, profitable, environmentally friendly, and attractive to its customers. Common challenges associated with these goals include achieving an acceptable time-to-market, finding ways to reduce costs while improving performance, and the need to validate new materials that, more often than not, have never been used in automotive applications.
Manufacturers of sports and leisure equipment must ensure that the product can withstand its intended use and its possible misuse. Certification of sports equipment by an independent third-party provides consumers and retailers with the confidence that the product can do what its manufacturer claims, inspiring trust in the brand.
It is inherent in the behavior of springs, and especially in their use, that they must be able to withstand continuous elastic deformations, which momentarily change their constructional dimension when applied;
The springs must also be able to absorb large amounts of elastic energy, which must be released when the external force ceases to be applied.
It is mainly for this reason that the study of their behavior, when subjected to one or more external forces, becomes crucial.
Standards
ASTM International is a US standards body, which stands for American Society for Testing and Materials International.
ISO, the International Organisation for Standardisation. They develop and publish international standards.
EN, European Standards are technical standards drawn up and maintained by CEN, the European Committee for Standardisation.
The material is subjected to cyclic loading with a corresponding test frequency.
The material is subjected to unidirectional forces in a gradual manner.
These are tests with single instantaneous impacts.
