To design high efficiency turbine, pressure vessels, heat-exchanges etc. 1.e) Large Scale Wind Turbine Structures: Efficient design of wind turbine structures by evaluating the material properties at multiaxial loading. Axial Torsion Test System-250kN/2000Nm: Axial-torsion testing machines help characterize biaxial mechanical properties of materials, both in static and dynamic conditions, which helps in choosing the right materials for different applications where components are exposed to axial torsion loading profiles. 2.a Fatigue Testing This system is ideal for the exacting demands of material fatigue testing. Highly stiff integrated actuator beams, patented hydraulic grips, high resolution force transducers and precision alignment fixtures combine to deliver tightly controlled and consistent through-zero specimen loading. Example: Constant Amplitude, Variable Amplitude, Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) and High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) 2.b Fracture Testing The system can be readily configured to perform linear elastic and elastic-plastic fracture toughness testing. The system load frame can be used for both pre-cracking and fracture testing and equipped with a selection of standard compliant grips and precision clip-on displacement gauges. Example: Fracture Toughness, Fatigue Crack Growth, Crack Propagation, JIc and KIc 2.c Component Testing Highly configurable MTS Axial Torsional System feature the test space and performance flexibility required to perform both static and dynamic component testing. These systems can be equipped with fixtures for single and multiple specimens, as well as a full selection of extensometers that are versatile enough to measure displacement from a variety of locations on a specimen. Example: Strength and Mechanical Properties of Components and Assemblies 2.d Monotonic Testing Multipurpose MTS Axial Torsion systems are equipped to meet a full spectrum of monotonic—or static-material testing requirements. These systems run industry-leading MTS Test Suite software, which combines powerful test definition capabilities with simplified runtime operation and the ability to analyse data report test results in a variety of standard and custom formats. Example: Tensile, Compression, Bend and Stress Relaxation Axial Fatigue System- 100kN: 3.a Fatigue Testing The MTS Landmark system is ideal for the exacting demands of material fatigue testing.

Example: Tensile, Compression, Bend and Stress Relaxation Digital Image Correlation (DIC): Strain Contour on the specimen, strain on individual points, average and maximum strains and various other geometric data can be obtained by using DIC technique. Using the High Speed Camera, crack propagation can be clearly studied. Can use DIC to analyse images of in situ tensile or compression test.
