Material Testing Apparatus for Material Testing of a Specimen

Abstract

An apparatus for material testing of a specimen, in particular a battery device. The apparatus includes a specimen holder arrangement with a specimen holder for holding a specimen to be tested, a rod arrangement for moving in direction to the specimen holder for transmitting a mechanical load to the specimen, and an electromechanical actuator for moving at least one of the rod arrangement and the specimen holder arrangement with respect to each other along a longitudinal impact direction. The electromechanical actuator arrangement is configured to adjust the speed to any speed between 0 m/s to 12 m/s between the rod arrangement and the specimen holder arrangement other for transmitting a mechanical load to the specimen.
