Original Abstract Submitted
A load cell body is configured to be used with a test specimen, the load cell body including a first member, a second member, and a flexure arrangement disposed between the first and second members. The flexure arrangement includes a pair of focused flexure assemblies, each of the focused flexure assemblies having a flexure axial plane. The flexure axial planes intersect at a line, and a midpoint of the line defines an origin of a coordinate system. The test specimen is configured to be positioned so that a center of the test specimen is located at the origin. In another aspect, a machine includes a platform, a cross head and a load cell body. The load cell body is disposed on the platform, and the test specimen is configured to contact the load cell body.
