Instead of a simple uniaxial test, a cruciform, or cross-shaped plate, with four actuators helps with testing structures for multi-axial stress.
Instron offer integrated systems and software ideal for carrying out LCF testing to international standards including ISO 12106 and ASTM E606.
In WaveMatrix, the Specimen Self-Heating Control adjusts the frequency during composite fatigue tests to add consistency in temperature and reduce testing time.
To be NADCAP compliant, aerospace companies need to pass a checklist for mechanical tensile testing to ensure correct alignment.
