• M-209  Combined Loading Compression (CLC)
• M-219  Shear Stress-Strain
• M-210  Compressive Stress-Strain, Strength and Modulus
• M-034  Short Beam Shear Strength
• M-050  Open Hole Tension (OHT)
• M-051  Open Hole Compression (OHC)
• D-027  Volumetric Cure Shrinkage
• M-041  Lap Shear Strength
• M-600  DMA—Tensile/Compressive (0.1-100 Hz)

• G-170  DIGIMAT MX Elastic eX-E
• G-173  DIGIMAT MX Elasto-plastic with Damage (EP+D)
