Plastic Section Modulus Testing Instruments

A plastic section modulus is a geometric property for a cross-section of an object generally used in materials in which plastic behavior can be observed. The plastic section modulus of a given object depends greatly on the plastic neutral axis of the object. This is an axis that splits the cross-section in such a way that it sets the compression force from the area being compressed equally to the tension force from the area undergoing the tension. The plastic section modulus itself is derived by summing the areas of the cross-section on either side of this axis. A section modulus can be used when designing objects that have beams or pieces that are highly flexible and bendable. This can account for different types of objects, including metals. However, in certain specific cases, a plastic section modulus is used to calculate these values and design the objects. Manufacturers can test the quality of plastic section modulus using Plastic Section Modulus Testing Instruments which is used in various industries.
