Deflection rates can vary 20%, depending on the type of actuator and force transducer you use.
For the most accurate high frequency test results, use a Load Unit with a fatigue rating that’s larger than its actuator’s force rating. (A 322.31 Load Unit with a 55 kip fatigue rating and a 22 kip actuator will be stiffer than a 322.21 Load Unit with a 22 kip fatigue rating and 22 kip actuator.)

Triaxial Accessories

Accurately Replicate In Situ Conditions

Triaxial testing aims to accurately recreate high confining pressures, high temperatures, high pore fluid pressures, and a wide range of stress states.

For these applications, MTS offers triaxial testing assemblies that can be integrated within a rock testing system to create a complete triaxial testing solution. These assemblies include triaxial cells, a type of pressure vessel, along with a wide array of in-vessel accessories designed to withstand extreme conditions.

Ultrasonic Velocity Solutions

Determine Porosity, Elastic Constants, Anisotropy & Fluid Saturation

The MTS Ultrasonic Velocity Test Solution is an effective, scalable research platform designed for studying the behavior of geomaterials core samples when subjected to temperatures and pressures that replicate extreme in situ environments. The highly detailed characterizations gained through such studies yield insight into the specimen’s porosity, elastic constants, anisotropy, fluid saturation and other critical attributes.

The MTS Ultrasonic Velocity Test Solution comprises state-of-the-art platen hardware, application software and electronics for control and data acquisition. These components are meticulously engineered and tightly integrated to deliver accurate, dependable performance in demanding triaxial test applications at temperatures up to 120°C (250°F) and pressures up to 140 MPa (20,000 psi).

This solution is specifically designed for use with the MTS Model 656 Triaxial Cell, an industry-leading accessory that can be seamlessly integrated into robust MTS Model 815 or Model 816 Rock Mechanics Test Systems. It can also be added as an upgrade to many already existing models of triaxial cells from MTS.

FULL PRODUCT INFORMATION

Overview

Optimizing High Strain Rate Tests

High-rate test systems need to conduct dynamic tests at the correct strain rate, and capture high-quality data during a short timeframe. To meet these challenges, MTS delivers a family of high-rate testing solutions that include the following features and components:

Heavy-duty load frames

Rigid load reaction frames minimize signal distortion caused by unwanted vibrations, which are common in high-velocity testing applications.

High-rate actuators

The system actuators feature relatively low mass while retaining sufficient stiffness for high-rate compression tests.

Load measurement

The piezoelectric load measurement transducers used in MTS high-rate systems are stiffer and have less mass than conventional strain gage-based load cells, which are too elastic for high rate testing.

Displacement measurement

Actuator displacement is measured with a magnetostrictive device that provides exceptional accuracy.

Data acquisition

Data acquisition boards feature eight channels of differential signal acquisition up to 1.25 megahertz. One channel is dedicated to transducer data, one to actuator displacement and six to other sources as test needs dictate.

MTS can also assist with system configuration. To create a system that accurately simulates dynamic impact events, we consider the requirements for kinetic energy, strain rate and force at velocity. Then we use a complex modeling process that balances all these considerations to design a high-rate system that can properly characterize the dynamic response. MTS has developed special software programs to configure the optimum solution for the required system performance, and can help you meet your specific testing needs.

Contact MTS today to learn more about our solutions for high-rate dynamic testing.
