Zusammenfassung:	A device (10) for evaluating dynamic, mechanical properties of materials includes an elongate cylindrical housing (12) projecting from a handle (14). The housing (12) defines a passage (16). One end of the passage (16) is clos ed off by a plug (18) with an opposed end of the passage (16) having an end cap (20). A resiliently flexible beam (22) is arranged in a cantilevered manner in the passage (16). A probe (24) is arranged at a free end of the beam (22). A strain gauge array (28) is mounted on the beam (22) for monitoring the deflection of the beam (22) and for generating an output signal representati ve of the movement of the beam (22). A method for evaluating dynamic, mechanica l properties of materials is also disclosed.
