INSTALLATION FOR TESTING OF SAMPLES FOR THERMOMECHANICAL LOADS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01N3/18 

FIELD: test equipment.

SUBSTANCE: installation includes a base, mounted on it co-axial grippers for the sample, a mechanical loader associated with the grippers, a thermal loader including a shaft mounted parallel to the grippers, a shaft rotation drive, a pulley mounted on the shaft, an endless member, A heat-conducting ring for fixing on the surface of the sample, enclosed by an infinite element with the possibility of frictional interaction, and a device for a controlled tension force of an infinite element. The installation is provided with an additional shaft installed parallel to the first shaft on the opposite side of the axis of the grippers, by the drive of the rotation of the additional shaft, by an additional pulley mounted on the additional shaft opposite to the first pulley, an additional endless member covering the additional pulley without the possibility of sliding, and an additional device for the adjustable tension force of an additional infinite element. An additional infinite element is installed with the possibility of frictional interaction with the heat-conducting ring.

EFFECT: it is possible to test the samples when loading sample sections both under axial and thermal loading, and additionally with torsion and bending loading, which increases the amount of information in the study of material properties.
