Design of a Testing Device for Cruciform Specimens Subjected to Planar Biaxial Tension

Abstract:

Multiaxial experiments are necessary to determine materials behavior subjected to complex stress state corresponding to real operating conditions under complex loadings. Stresses applied in biaxial experiments are closely to the stresses that materials experience during their function life. Because of reduced acquisition cost, operation cost and maintenance costs devices attached to the universal testing machine are beginning to be used in ever more applications. The present paper examines a new type of mechanism used to test biaxial cruciform specimens in order to evaluate stress state in planar biaxial tensile testing.
