Abstract
A material testing system and method includes a testpiece, a test bed, and a data collector. The testpiece includes a body that extends along an axis and a hollow interior that is formed by the body. The test bed internally pressurizes the hollow interior of the testpiece. The data collector acquires data representing the testpiece.
