Alemnis - Model VHS-1-1 -Very High Strain Rate Module

Very High-strain rate module, actuating 1-axis, sensing 1-axis, controlled strain rate up to 1’000 s-1 or higher. (requires ECO). The VHS-1-1 can reach a controlled constant strain rate of 1’000 s-1 calculated for a 10 µm micro-pillar. In the case of indentation, the strain rate can be even higher (typical values are 7’000 s-1 at 100 nm depth and 2’000 s-1 at 350 nm depth). The VHS-1-1 is also used for impact testing or fatigue testing up to a frequency of 10kHz.
