Abstract
One aspect of the inventive technology may be generally described as a method for determining test object deformation response that comprises the steps of moving a deformation force delivererto deliver deformation forceto a test object; adjusting a deformation force deliverer affecting input so as to meet at least one constraint while performing the step of moving the deformation force deliverer; deforming the test objectwith the deformation force; and determining test object response to the deformation force. Corollary apparatus, in addition to other inventive apparatus and method aspects relating variously to test object deformation response determination are part of the inventive technology. Such aspects may relate to the use of a linear actuatorin a test object deformation and to identity of motion of a deformation force delivererand a force deliverer drive component, as herein described.
