Abstract

The influence of frequency on the actual testing load of hydraulic mechanical testing machines is discussed. Different materials were tested on an MTS 810 machine at different frequencies. Based upon experimental results, a relationship between frequency, maximum load, and material stiffness was established.

Keywords:
frequency, load, elastic modulus (Young's modulus), cyclic deformation, fatigue, servo-hydraulic system, actuator, MTS, Instron
