DEVICE FOR CHARACTERIZING THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF A MATERIAL WITH LOW ELASTICITY MODULE

摘要

The present invention relates to a device for characterizing the mechanical properties of a material (S) with a low modulus of elasticity, comprising an application surface (3) and a mechanical stressing mechanism (5), said mechanical stressing mechanism comprising a mobile indenter (6) at least in vertical translation to provide a substantially normal support for said material and for said application surface (3), at least one translational means (14) for said indenter along a vertical axis Z- Z 'from a reference position in which the indenter is not in contact with the material (S) and - at least one sensor (11) for measuring the force applied by the indenter on the material (S) following a direction normal to the application surface on the material, and - at least one position sensor (20) able to determine the vertical position of said indenter (6) with respect to said reference position.
