A Dog-Bone Sample (DBS) is a cylindrical (or flat) specimen with a reduced section in the
central area, where the rupture is independent of contact conditions.
It is a testing geometry for the characterisation of materials in mechanics.
NOTE: The 3D model was created in SOLIDWORKS (edition 2014) with a .sldprt extension. The model was converted into a .slt then into a .obj file. The transition file (.slt) explains the triangular aspect (top of the specimen) for the discretisation.
