Abstract:
A system for measuring loading on a test specimen. The system includes the test specimen arranged between a first loading bar and a second loading bar. The system further includes a first loading unit and a second loading unit configured to apply a first load and a second load to the first and second loading bars, respectively. The system further includes a first clamp and a second clamp configured to hold the first and second loading bars against the first and second loads, respectively. The system further includes a clamp actuating unit configured to selectively release at least the first clamp. The clamp actuating unit further includes a controller configured to electrically actuate at least one first electromechanical transducer from a retained state to a released state to release the first clamp, such that the first loading bar applies a first loading wave to the test specimen.
