Integrated Multiaxial and High Precision Computer Controlled Servohydraulic Mechanical Testing System
Abstract
An electronically controlled, hydraulically actuated multiaxial mechanical testing system has been purchased from MTS and installed in the Peterson Laboratory at Stanford University. The instrument is controlled by a DEC computer. This instrument provided by the grant will permit a kind of mechanical testing to be done at Stanford University. Multiaxial mechanical tests can be done by using the combined tension-torsion capabilities of the new instrument. This will permit not only a more complete investigation of the mechanisms of deformation and fracture than can be done with axial testing alone but also a study of structural material behavior under the complex loading conditions which arise in practice. The torsional testing mode will also permit studies of deformation at large strains, such as those which arise in metal forming operations.
