Determination of axial loading of tension, compression and bending test machines

摘要

In the field of material and component testing, pure uniaxial tensile or compression loading is rarelythe case. On the contrary superimposed bending moments often affect the measuring resultssubstantially The importance of load application without the introduction of bending moments is notonly confined to hard and brittle materials. This paper deals with details of the common practiseand of new developments regarding the application of axial forces in the instrumentation andcalibration of test machines.
