Patent Pending Mechanical testing seeks to measure mechanical properties of materials using various test specimen and fixture geometries using a range of probe types. Measurement is desired to take place with minimal disturbance of the material being measured. Some characteristics of a material can be measured without disturbance, such as dimensions, mass, volume, density. However, measurement of mechanical properties normally involves disturbance of the system being measured.
