VISCOELASTIC MATERIAL TESTING SYSTEM

摘要

A system for performing a flexometer test includes a balanced beam (16) supporting an anvil (24) upon which a viscoelastic material (14) is placed, the balanced beam (16) being balanced upon a rotatable shaft (102) and pivotable about the axis of the rotatable shaft (102), an assembly for applying a static load to the material, a hammer (52) opposite the anvil (24) for applying a dynamic strain to the material, and a sensor which senses permanent dimensional changes in the material.
