==General information==

The term test speed is preferably used in [[Materials Testing | materials]] and [[Polymer Testing | plastics testing]], regardless of the type of load and the duration of the load, but is also used to describe the speed of any type of deformation process, e.g. to analyse the flow speed [1−3].

==Definition of terms==

In plastics testing, the term test speed refers to the velocity applied to the test specimen by a loading device. When using an electromechanical or servo-hydraulic [[Material Testing Machine | universal testing machine]], with which tensile, [[Compression Test | compression]], [[Bend Test | bending]] or [[Bend Test – Shear Stress| shear tests]] can be carried out, for example, the test speed corresponds to the so-called [[Crosshead Speed | crosshead speed]] (sometimes also pull-off speed) at which the movable crosshead moves up or down with the test specimen clamping. As the [[Velocity | velocity]] must be independent of the resulting reaction force of the [[Specimen | test specimen]], it is kept constant with the so-called primary control loop of the [[Material Testing Machine | testing machine]]. The term test speed is used explicitly in the plastics testing standards [4–11], although the crosshead speed ''v''T is specified in a table, whereas the crosshead speed is used directly in the standard ISO 11339 [12], for example. Depending on the test arrangement or load type, a specific strain rate for the test specimen can then be calculated from the crosshead speed.

==Terms of impact loading==

For impact or drop-type test methods, the term test speed is only used in ISO 7765-2 [13], while in the other test standards the impact velocity is used [14–18]. In all cases, the term refers to the velocity ''v''0 of the loading device (drop hammer or pendulum hammer) shortly before impact on the test specimen (unnotched, [[Notch Geometry | notched test specimen]] or round or rectangular test plate).

==Strain state in the specimen==

In all types of tests, it is generally assumed that the applied velocity causes a strain rate distribution and strain state of some kind in the test specimen and generates a force or stress as a reaction, which is displayed as a diagram and is used to calculate [[Material Value | material values]].

The following terms are also explained in more detail in the WIKI-dictionary of „Polymer Testing & Diagnostics“:

*[[Velocity]]
*[[Notch Geometry | Notch geometry]]
*[[Crosshead Speed | Crosshead speed]]
