Critical
design and
performance
requirements
for
servohydraulic
actuators
used for
civil
engineering
test
applications.

Why any
actuator
won’t do for
Civil
Structural
Testing
|
| |
Civil
structural
testing
requires
large-scale
mechanical
test
solutions
capable of
accommodating
enormous
test
specimens
while
achieving
precise
control of
immense
applied
loads. The
fact that
these loads
can change
constantly
- due
to the
physical
degradation
of test
specimens -
places
especially
unique
demands on
the test
actuators
used for
civil
engineering
applications.
MTS senior
product
manager
Sterling
Anderson
discusses
the
servohydraulic
actuator
attributes
required to
address the
precision,
reliability
and
energy-efficiency
requirements
of civil
structural
testing.

Gaining
meaningful
materials
test data
requires
precise
measurement
and control
of the loads
and motions
being
applied to
test
specimens.
For dynamic
testing of
materials
under load,
displacement
or strain
control,
this
critical
measurement
function is
best
performed by
highly
accurate MTS
Force
Transducers
(load cells)
for
servohydraulic
systems.
