Apparatus is disclosed for testing the mechanical properties of a material. The apparatus comprises a sample container ( 10 ) adapted to be filled with a sample of the material, and a housing ( 20 ) within which the sample container ( 10 ) is, in use, fixedly mounted. The sample container ( 10 ) has a first, open face via which a compressive load can be applied to the sample and a second face ( 19 ) disposed orthogonally to the first, open face. At least a portion of the second face ( 19 ) is resiliently displaceable, outwardly of the sample container ( 10 ), in response to deformation of the sample brought about by application of the load. |
