Abstract: A specimen support assembly for testing an elastomeric test specimen comprises first and second specimen supports. A force transducer and accelerometer assembly is connected to a second end of the first specimen support opposite the elastomeric test specimen and includes a force transducer and a first accelerometer operably coupled in series with the force transducer, the first accelerometer configured to measure acceleration of a first end of the test specimen when mounted in the first specimen support and provide a first acceleration output signal. An elongated strut has a first end connected to the force transducer and accelerometer assembly on an end opposite the first specimen support and has a second end opposite the first end. A second accelerometer is configured to measure acceleration of a second end of the test specimen when mounted in the second specimen support and provide a second acceleration output signal.
