Software - Shear Testing (Advanced)

Independent control over the axial axis (load, stress or strain) and shear axis (load, stress or strain) with the constant, ramp or quasi-static sinusoidal cyclic control on either axis. 

Unsaturated tests may be performed using the axis translation technique.

Available Tests

  • Static control of horizontal (shear) actuator with respect to either constant, ramp or cyclic control types for either shear displacement (mm) or shear force (kN).
  • Static control of Axial actuator with respect to either constant, ramp or cyclic control types for either axial displacement (mm) or axial force (kN).
