mechanical property

Mechanical properties describe the behavior of a material, e.g. adhesive, under mechanical stress. These include, for example, elongation, breaking strength, hardness and modulus of elasticity. Knowledge of these properties is critical to adhesive design and selection in various applications.

These properties vary by adhesive type and can be affected by factors such as temperature, humidity and aging. A thorough knowledge of the mechanical properties of an adhesive is essential for the design and manufacture of components and products to ensure their performance, durability and reliability.

Therefore, mechanical properties are determined through various tests and verification procedures to ensure that the adhesive used meets the needs of the application. Knowing and considering the mechanical properties of adhesives is therefore an important factor in the development and selection of adhesive connections.
