Abstract
Methods and apparatus for measuring properties of a cantilevered member according to various aspects of the present technology may utilize a test stand comprising a chuck configured to secure a first end of a test member or shaft such that a second end of the test member is cantilevered outward from the chuck. A loading system may be configured to apply a force to the test member causing the test member to deflect in response to the load. An image capturing system is configured to acquire one or more images of the deflected test member and a data acquisition system may analyze the collected data and images to calculate one or more properties of the test member.
