The test was carried out on a servo-hydraulic test system (858 Mini Bionix® II, MTS Systems Corporation, Eden Prairie, USA) in axial-torsional configuration, equipped with a 25-kN/250-Nm load cell.
The SEB tests with the lab-prepared NSC and UHPC specimens were conducted by employing a clip-gauge controlled servo-hydraulic testing system and an AE damage detection system.
After μCT scanning, the L2 vertebral bodies were rehydrated, mounted in a servo-hydraulic testing system (858 Mini Bionix II, MTS, USA), preconditioned with 10 cycles in the elastic range and tested to failure in axial compression with a rate of 0.033 mm/s.
In this paper, shale hydraulic fracturing tests were carried out by using the triaxial hydraulic fracturing test system to identify the effects of natural bedding directions on the crack propagation in the process of hydraulic fracturing.
Quasi-static tests at strain rate of 10−5/s were conducted using a servo-hydraulic material test system.
Using a hydraulic material testing system (MTS), eight samples of each tape were compared in three different mechanical tests: load-to-failure, fatigue testing under load control, and fatigue testing under displacement control.
Afterwards, untreated and DLC coated CT specimens were subjected to fatigue loads by a servo-hydraulic fatigue testing system.
Impacts have been undertaken using a purpose built servo-hydraulic slam testing system with impact velocities up to 6.0 m/s and a deadrise angle of 10°.
Each radius was aligned within the aluminum containers and consequently within the servo-hydraulic material testing system (MTS 858 MiniBionix, MTS Systems Corp., USA), as reported previously [ 20].
The test system integrates a hydraulic inflation system, a high speed vision system and a control system.
