Test device for traction and compression on a test piece after atmosphere re-entry simulation

摘要

A test piece subjected to a test is embodied from a pellet in which two half-moon shaped notches are embodied, the test piece taking support on two arc-shaped shoulders situated at the base of a clamping jaw extremity having a ribbed support plate. Two jaw extremities are disposed into a female clamping jaw of the test equipment. The present invention provides elements for measuring the residual resistance of a test piece following an atmospheric re-entry.
