Abstract
A material testing system and methods of testing an interaction between two materials are presented. A material testing system comprises a vertical actuator configured to repeatedly move in a vertical direction; and a pair of horizontal actuators configured to apply forces normal to movement of the vertical actuator.
Claims20
A material testing system comprising:
- a vertical actuator configured to repeatedly move in a vertical direction;
- and
- a pair of horizontal actuators configured to apply forces normal to movement of the vertical actuator.
A method of testing an interaction between two materials comprising:
- pressing material samples of a first material against opposing surfaces of a number of material samples of a second material by a pair of horizontal actuators;
- and
- repeatedly moving the second material in a vertical direction normal to forces of the horizontal actuators while the first material is in contact with the second material.
A method of testing an interaction between two materials comprising:
- securing material samples of a first material to a pair of horizontal actuators;
- securing a number of material samples of a second material to a vertical actuator;
- pressing the material samples of the first material against opposing surfaces of the number of material samples of the second material by the pair of horizontal actuators;
- and
- repeatedly moving the second material in a vertical direction while the first material is in contact with the second material.
