Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A mount assembly for compression testing of an article of apparel on a compression testing machine. The machine has a head and a sensor. The mount assembly includes a substantially rigid core member and a resilient member that is supported on and that at least partially covers the cover member. The resilient member is configured to support the article of apparel thereon. The resilient member is configured to resiliently deform in response to a compression applied to the article of apparel from the head of the impact testing machine. As such, the sensor detects an effect of the compression on at least one of the resilient member and the core member.
