Leather
Leather is a durable and flexible material created by tanning animal skin.
About this material
Leather is a durable and flexible material created by tanning animal skin. Production of synthetic leathers has recently evolved and researchers have attempted to mimic the appearance and properties of the natural counterpart while reducing processing costs.
Mechanical testing applications
Mechanical testing of leather and synthetic leather is a key element in related research.

FAQ
What is the elongation at rupture?
The amount of uniaxial strain at fracture including both elastic and plastic deformation.
What is viscoelasticity?
Property of a material to exhibit both viscous and elastic characteristics when undergoing deformation. Such material will show time-dependent mechanical behavior.

What is the ultimate tensile strength (tensile strength)?
Ultimate tensile strength is the maximum stress developed in a material before rupture in a tension test.
What is the yield strength?
The stress at which a material starts to show plastic deformation.
What is the elasticity?
Property of a material to deform under load or strain and to return to its original shape when the stress is released.
