What is Strain Analysis Testing at Element?
Strain analysis is a sophisticated testing technique that measures material deformation under various loading conditions. At Element, we provide comprehensive strain analysis services that quantify how materials respond to stress, using advanced strain gaging techniques to deliver critical performance insights across multiple industries. We offer both physical and optical testing methodologies, ensuring flexibility in testing environments.
What Can Element Offer You For Strain Analysis?
Key tests offered
Key tests offered
In a stress-strain analysis, we apply strain gages to your product to determine the stresses acting on the part. That allows us to carry out the following kinds of analysis:
- Static and dynamic loading analysis
- Torque strain measurements
- Temperature stress testing (-250°C to +1000°C)
- Fatigue life estimations
- Performance parameter validation
