The fracture behavior of many materials is known to be dependent on loading speed (among other things). Numerical calculation of crash safety requires appropriate data and constitutive equations. Zwick's HTM servo-hydraulic high-speed testing machines allow strain rate dependent characteristic values to be determined over a wide speed range.
- Available in various versions with maximum test loads of 25, 50, 80 or 160 kN.
- Maximum piston speed 20 m/sec. The test speed can be selected over a wide range from very slow to maximum.
- Can be supplied for 280 bar system pressure.
- Particularly suited to penetration and high-speed tensile tests, peel, and shear tests. Tests on components can also be performed using the optional T-slot platform.
- HTM represents a complete system with all components - including the hydraulic power pack, test frame and the fast measurement and control electronics, plus PC and evaluation software - matched and integrated.
- testControl measurement and control electronics plus testXpert® testing software allow test result evaluation, report creation and data management.
