Analysis Requirements:
Mechanical analysis is only possible for solid samples (ceramics, rocks, metals, polymers etc.). For cylindrical samples, the ratio of the diameter (maximum 3 cm) to the height of the samples should be about 1:1.70, while in case of parallelopiped samples.
In case of metal/polymer/ceramic/rock strips, the length of the sample should be at least 10 cm. For metal rods, the diameter should not exceed 1cm.
