Properties

Bundle Capabilities

Everything you need to characterize materials with the Impulse Excitation Technique.

Elastic Moduli

Determine Young's modulus (E), shear modulus (G), and Poisson's ratio from resonance frequencies of bar, disc, or cylinder specimens.

Material Damping

Quantify internal friction and damping (Q⁻¹) from the free decay of vibrations, a sensitive indicator of microstructural changes.

High Precision

Frequency accuracy better than 0.005% and resolution of 0.1 ppm enable detection of subtle material changes.

Standards Compliant

Full compliance with ASTM E1876, C1259, ISO 12680, and EN 843-2 for elastic property measurement.

Repeatable Setup

The Measurement Station ensures consistent sample positioning and excitation force for reliable, operator-independent results.

Data Export

Export measurement data as CSV for further analysis in your preferred software environment.

Ideal For

Research and laboratory environments where accurate material properties matter.

Metals & Alloys

Steel, aluminum, titanium, and specialty alloys

Technical Ceramics

Advanced ceramics, refractories, and glass

Composites

Carbon fiber, glass fiber, and hybrid materials
