                | Abaqus Finite-Plasticity (FeFp) material 
                    model -This material model for plastics is 
                    able to capture the non-linear elastic behavior as well as 
                    the development of plastic strain as the material goes beyond 
                    its non-linear elastic limit. The FeFp model can 
                    be calibrated by performing the tests described in the following 
                    TestPak 
                    available from DatapointLabs. A technical paper describing 
                    the model is posted at testpaks.com. Click here 
                    to access.  PAM-FORM - Forming simulations are often 
                    difficult to accomplish because of the lack of material properties. 
                    These data are not easy to obtain because they need to 
                    be measured on semi-molten materials at high temperatures. 
                    DatapointLabs has released two TestPaks 
                    of which the isothermal at is an economical solution 
                    for first pass simulations. Forming applications up to 200C 
                    can be accommodated.  |  
							
								
                | 37° C Saline Cell 
                    for biomedical applications- Testing of materials 
                    that are used in-vivo require testing in saline environments 
                    at body temperatures. Mechanical properties at these conditions, such 
                    as stress-strain in tension or compression, cyclic loading, 
                    hyper elastic properties, stress relaxation and fatigue measurements 
                    are now available. Call for details, 1-888-Data-4-CAE Taber Abrasion Testing- A rotary Taber Abrasion tester has 
                    been brought on line and is available for abrasion and wear 
                    testing on a variety of materials including plastics, metals, 
                    coatings and painted surfaces.To view tests click here  |  
														
                	| DatapointLabs welcomes two new employees, 
                    Bert Supernaw and Meagan Brown to their team. Meagan received 
                    her degree in Communications with a focus in Advertising and 
                    Graphic Design, and has been hired to assist in Marketing 
                    and Strategic Alliances. Bert, with a B.S. 
                    in Physics and Engineering as well as an A.A.S. in Electronics 
                    Engineering, is involved in the validation, compilation, and 
                    interpretation of test data.  |  |  |
