Redefining the boundaries of high strain rate and impact testing

  • Alemnis Ultra High Strain rate module for micromechanical testing

    Key Features

    • Pioneering high strain rate testing - Microscale testing with over a decade of expertise
    • Exceptional performance - Maximum strain rates with precise control
    • Versatile testing platform - Perfect for advanced indentation, tensile and compression testing
    • Unmatched strain rate range - Strain rates from 0.0001 to 10,000 /s, the fastest in micro-mechanical testing
    • Advanced testing features - Controlled strain rates and real-time data analysis without complex modeling
    • High strain rate nanoindentation - Nanoindentation experiments one million times faster than standard methods
    • High strain rate micro compression - Provides constant strain rates with true displacement control

The Alemnis Ultra High Strain rate (UHS) module offers the highest strain rate of any system on the market. Offering nine orders of magnitude of strain rates for indentation, tensile and compression testing, the Alemnis UHS is the world’s fastest micromechanical testing system. This enables extreme experiments that are, simply not possible with other systems.

Strain rate (s-1) is the inverse value of the time it takes to perform the mechanical loading. As a result, experiments take as little as 0.1 ms at maximum strain rates.

The UHS is unique in that it is the only system that offers:

  • Constant and controlled strain rates
  • Continuous testing from quasi-static to high strain rates
  • Read-out frequency of 1 MHz for displacement and load.
  • Direct data analysis without complicated modeling or system assumptions

The UHS can perform experiments such as:

  • Nanoindentation
  • Micro compression

It can also be adapted to running experiments in various environments such as:

  • Low temperatures – -150°C to 200°C
  • High temperatures – Up to 1000°C
  • Relative humidity – 5 to 95% at 25 to 70°C
  • Liquids – Full immersion in liquids, electrochemical testing
