| Abstract: Various technologies to facilitate coupled electrical and mechanical
measurement of conductive materials are disclosed herein. A gripping
device simultaneously holds a specimen in place and causes contact to be
made between the specimen and a plurality of electrodes connected to an
electrical measuring device. An electrical characteristic of the specimen
is then measured while a mechanical load is applied to the specimen, and
a relationship between the mechanical load and changes in the electrical
characteristic can be identified. |
