Computer controlled system with 50,000 lb Axial and 20,000 in-lb Torsion (MTS 809.25); Axial system with 50,000 lb Tension/Compression (MTS 880); and Environmental heating/cooling chamber with temperature range of -200 to 1000°F (MTS 651). We also have two Digital Wave 8bit Acoustic Emission Systems, one with two and one with four channels.
Student Projects:
For long-term aging study, student needed to develop a thermal isolation system for the MTS 809.25 load zone. A constant temperature bath with thermal isolation inserts was used to maintain the temperature of the load cell.
