Abstract
A modular test fixture is configured to quickly support test samples of different configurations for testing.
Claims26
A testing device, comprising:
- a first platform;
- a second platform including a first cavity having a first opening extending through a first lateral end surface of the second platform, wherein the first cavity extends from the first opening toward a center of the second platform;
- a spine;
- and
- a third platform fixed relatively to the first platform by the spine, the third platform including a second cavity having a second opening extending through a first lateral end surface of the third platform, wherein the second cavity extends from the second opening toward a center of the third platform;
- wherein the second platform:
- is disposed between the first platform and the third platform;
- is movable relative to the first platform and the third platform;
- and
- includes a third cavity, wherein the spine extends through the third cavity;
- wherein the testing device further includes a moving assembly configured to move the second platform relative to the first platform and the third platform,
- wherein the testing device is for use in a compression test and/or a tensile test.
