Tensile strips are manufactured materials used to measure or apply tensile stress in various applications. They are often used in structural engineering and material testing to evaluate the strength and elasticity of materials under tension. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials.
However, the sample in this case study is for a different purpose. While some manufacturers look to eliminate as much porosity as possible, others attempt to create a distribution of porosity for reasons like: flexibility, sound absorption, thermal insulation, and product lightening.
Industrial CT Scanning is used to characterize, quantify, and create 3D representations of these strips for failure analysis and FEA. Data can be exported into a variety of file formats.
