CENTRIFUGE-TYPE TESTING MACHINE Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: investigating strength properties of solid materials. SUBSTANCE: testing machine has platform 2 with motor drive 3, wheel 9 with driving actuator 14, connecting link 11 with latch 13, grips 5,6 with weight 8 for specimen 7. With wheel 9 rotated, the specimen is loaded by alternating axial and bending stresses. When platform 2 and wheel 9 are rotated synchronously, the specimen is loaded by static centrifugal axial stresses. With the platform and the wheel rotated asynchronously, there occur redistribution of centrifugal load and radius of specimen rotation. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities. 1 dwg
