High-Speed Tensile Testing ServiceHigh-Speed Tensile Testing (HSTT) is an advanced technique that probes the mechanical properties of materials under dynamic loading conditions, in contrast to the slower, constant-rate approach of conventional tensile testing. By applying rapid loading rates, often ranging from hundreds to thousands of millimeters per second, HSTT can accurately simulate real-world scenarios involving high deformation or impact, such as those encountered in automotive crashes, aerospace applications, and military equipment. This specialized method provides material scientists and engineers with crucial insights that enable the development of innovative, high-performance products capable of withstanding the demands of fast-paced, high-stress environments.
The principles of High-Speed Tensile Testing are rooted in the dynamic response of materials to rapid loading. The behavior of materials under dynamic conditions can differ significantly from their behavior under static loading due to inertial effects and strain rate sensitivity. In HSTT, specimens are subjected to high strain rates, which can reveal transient material behavior that is not observable under static conditions. The testing process involves the use of specialized equipment, such as servohydraulic testing machines, capable of achieving speeds of up to 20 m/s on specimens at forces up to 160 kN. High-speed cameras may also be employed for strain measurement, especially for metals. The data collected during the test, including applied forces, displacement, and time, are used to calculate stress and strain values and generate stress-strain curves.

Our High-Speed Tensile Testing (HSTT) capabilities leverage state-of-the-art servohydraulic testing machines capable of reaching speeds up to 20 m/s and forces up to 160 kN, coupled with high-speed cameras for precise strain measurement, enabling the meticulous characterization of material behavior under dynamic loading conditions. The testing process begins with the careful preparation of standardized flat dumbbell specimens, which are then subjected to rapid, precisely controlled forces, causing the sample to deform and ultimately fracture. This comprehensive data collection and analysis allows us to gain deep insights into the transient performance of materials, empowering our clients to optimize product design, enhance safety, and drive innovation across a wide range of critical industries, from automotive and aerospace to military and construction.
For accurate and reliable results, we require specimens to be prepared according to standard shapes such as dumbbells, with dimensions and tolerances defined by relevant standards. The material should be homogeneous to ensure consistent results, and any variations in the material composition or microstructure should be carefully controlled. The surface of the specimen should be smooth and free from defects to avoid premature failure due to surface irregularities. We accept a wide range of sample types, including metals, plastics, and composites, tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients.
