Does anyone have any information about testing the properties of a ski in the factory (i.e. bending tests or fatigue tests). I am doing a school project about the properties of skis and I need to know how they are tested. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They do different kind of flex testing, vibration testing, strength testing, torsional testing etc. but very few of these methods are available. I do some flex testing of skis:

there was a long thread somewhere around here about this, but I can't find it.

I just moved this thread from "Test and Trip Reports: How Did They Work?" since it was more appropriate here...
