Standard:ASTM D-6528
The GDS Electromechanical Dynamic Cyclic
Simple Shear Confined (EMDCSS-CON) is the premier device for simple shear
testing. It is capable of carrying out dynamic cyclic tests ranging from small
strain (0.005% shear strain amplitude) to large strain (10% shear strain
amplitude), as well as a large range of extremely accurate quasi-static
testing. This is the ultimate choice for a no-compromise simple shear machine
with the greatest range of testing capabilities. The EMDCSS-CON is supplied
with a built in frame (as shown in the picture) allowing system components to
be optimally positioned.
Tests that can be Performed: Guaranteed to
meet new ASTM D-6528 standards and NORSOK compliant. Cyclic simple shear tests
are the main use for these systems as well as static/monotonic simple shear,
multi-stage testing, low speed/creep tests, user defined waveform testing
(independent waveforms can be used on each axis), consolidation and constant
normal stiffness testing.
Upgrade Options: P and S wave measurements
with Bender Element system, transducer local calibration kit and unsaturated
testing.
