Static Deflection Testing
ESI performs static deflection testing to determine the load carrying capacity of products as well as material properties.
Using linear servo-hydraulic actuators we can perform tension or compression static tests up to 100 Kip (500 kN). Using torsional servo-hydraulic actuators we can perform torsion or conical static tests up to 100,000 in-lbs. Tests can be performed at a wide variety of speeds and temperatures. Data is typically analyzed using secant, tangent or delta load stiffness calculations.
