ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for the mechanical strength testing of components with respect to a strength criterion an acoustic pulse in the form of an acoustic shockwave is introduced into a component to be tested such that the shockwave is reflected acoustically with a polarity reversal at a reflection location before passing though a region of the component to be tested, thereby subjecting that region to tensile stress. The amplitude of the shockwave is selected such that the component is destroyed if it does not meet the strength criterion.
