Thermal Fatigue Test Package
For Compound Loads of Heat and Strain
This package provides the specimen with a load such as trapezoidal wave, and records the test force (stress) - displacement (elongation, strain) curve and temperature signals for a specified repeat count. It provides a temperature pattern synchronized with the load and corrects for thermal expansion to enable mechanical strain control and constant constraint rate control. Hysteresis energy and plastic strain can also be calculated from acquired data.
Features
- Up to ten waveforms comprising multiple steps can be repeated as the load and temperature setting screen loads and temperature signals.
- Thermal expansion data can be recorded for up to 50 thermal expansion correction data so that mechanical strain control and constant constraint rate control testing can be performing with thermal expansion factored in.

Pseudo-Dynamic Test Package
For Earthquake-Response Testing of Structures
The elastic-plastic response displacement for each input seismic-wave step is taken as the target values and is controlled to reach each layer simultaneously. The Newmark β method is used for the response calculation, but user's individual response calculations can also be conducted on an external PC, for example. Vertical jacks (up to 1 layer) can be used in addition to horizontal jacks (up to 4 layers).
Features
- Test start/end points and acceleration factor of seismic waves can be adjusted in the seismic wave settings.
- The elastic-plastic response displacement at input of the seismic wave can be previewed when previewing this displacement.
- Test Execution The load speed and attenuation matrix can be changed during the test.
