An apparatus, comprising:

• a base plate;
• a first fixed post coupled to the base plate at one side thereof;
• a second fixed post coupled to the base plate at the one side thereof;
• a first actuator, coupled to the first fixed post and the second fixed post, to rotate a test sample along an axis that runs parallel to and halfway between the first fixed post and the second fixed post;
• a second actuator, coupled to the first fixed post and the second fixed post, to displace the test sample along the axis that runs parallel to and halfway between the first fixed post and the second fixed post;
• a third actuator, coupled to the first fixed post and the second fixed post, to rotate the test sample along the axis that runs parallel to and halfway between the first fixed post and the second fixed post;
• a first test sample grip, coupled to the third actuator, to grip the test sample at a first end thereof;
• and
• a second test sample grip, coupled to the second actuator, to grip the test sample at a second end thereof.
