Thermo-Mechanical Characterization using Non-Contact Deformation Measurement Techniques
Our state-of-the-art “High Temperature Non-Contact Material Characterization” test system, initially developed to measure surface profiles of components in-situ, up to temperatures as high as 2000 ℃, has evolved into a mechanical characterization tool to handle diverse materials like ceramics, metals, glasses, polymers, composites etc., under diverse environmental conditions like oxidizing, reducing, inert, vacuum, humid and ambient conditions. Choice of 9 different sensors to suit specific customer requirements makes this test set-up highly customizable.
Enhancements to this non-contact test system include handling higher temperatures up to 2000oC to measure deformation profiles, yielding accuracies close to few tens of a nanometer in out-of-plane deformation measurements.
Industries having high degree of interest in thermo-mechanical tests at elevated temperatures including Energy, Aerospace, Defense, and Automobile in addition to R&D institutions and academics involved in high temperature material development and characterization will find this test system indispensable.

Our Solution: A novel “non-contact” 2-D/3-D differential profile measurement technique overcomes limitations of point based techniques (strain gauges, LVDTs etc.) by capturing entire deformed profile in-situ. This proprietary technique enables measurement of entire sample profile (deformation) including support displacements at any given instant in time, up to testing temperatures of 2000 ℃ in-situ, thereby eliminating errors related to boundary conditions.
Challenges: Characterization of glasses near their glass transition (Tg) and metals near their melting point require accurate measurements of deformed sample shapes and time lag with respect to loading profile. Our Solution: Capability of one-sided differential thickness/gap measurements enables characterization of glasses above their glass transition (Tg) by placing samples between transparent plates. Time history of change in thickness (deformation) with respect to applied load profile is captured accurately. In addition to thickness change, lateral deformation time history provides complete information about the viscoelastic behavior of the material.
- Impulse Test (natural frequencies and mode shapes)
- Forced Excitation/vibration test
Our Solution: Our unique differential displacement measurement captures entire profile thereby providing complete information of frequencies and mode shapes. For very accurate resonant frequency measurements, a specialized forced excitation test is also available as add-on in our vibrometry test suite.
Our Solution: Our in-situ measurement technique captures specimen/part profiles at high temperatures and under varied operating conditions (like oxidizing, reducing, humid etc) to measure profile changes in real time thus enabling accurate control of process parameters.
