N2 - This paper describes the development and technical details of a versatile high frequency materials testing system, as reports initial results obtained. The system allows the testing of frequencies up approximately to 20000 Hz and as low as approximately 0.5 Hz. This makes it unique for testing relatively soft nonlinear materials, fluids and small sample sizes. The system records complete hysteresis curves at all frequencies, which may then be used for further analysis. First testing results on an elastomer with a glass transition temperature within the tested frequency range are presented, as well as test results on a nonlinear sample. The tests show that the test rig is working very well and that mass effects have been eliminated.
