Abstract:In this research, an ESC tester machine was built by utilising a fracture mechanics approach. The machine consists of critical components such as an aluminium frame, 3D printed pulley and bracket, DC motor, Arduino microcontroller, and fasteners. The test was performed by securing an acrylic sample using a hook fixed to bracket on the base of the frame and integrated load cell with Arduino microcontroller board. Digital camera was used to capture images with Image J processing software to measure the transient… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
