Very large range for shear modulus measurements: from approximately 1 kPa up to 2 GPa. This allows viscous liquids and even solids, e.g. polymers in the glassy state, to be measured.
3-point bending for stiff materials with a modulus of elasticity up to 1000 GPa
Single and dual cantilever bending for materials that deform too strongly with 3-point bending
Tension measurements for thin bars, films, and fibers
