Abstract

A system for performing a flexometer test includes a balanced beam supporting an anvil upon which a viscoelastic material is placed, the balanced beam being balanced upon a rotatable shaft and pivotable about the axis of the rotatable shaft, an assembly for applying a static load to the material, a hammer opposite the anvil for applying a dynamic strain to the material, and a sensor which senses permanent dimensional changes in the material.
