Cyclic Triaxial Testing System (with compensated Ram)
Cyclic Triaxial Testing System with compensated Ram
Model No. LO7025/2 DYN
This testing system is a dynamic universal testing machine with electro-mechanical precision drive for compression and tension tests up to 20 kN and for high accuracy cyclic tests up to 10 Hz and covers all the test procedures for unbound material triaxial testing.
The system includes a special load pistol construction to compensate cell-pressure changes affected by the volume change of the movement of piston in and out of the triaxial cell.
Static and dynamic load applies from the bottom of triaxial cell. At top of cell there is a free operating space to facilitate installation of sample, or force measuring device or etc.
The powerful multifunctional GEOsys Software supports all the test procedures with a well access to all testing sessions.
- Electromechanical precision servo-drive for highly precise environmental-friendly device control.
- Specially designed and configured for static and cyclic triaxial test methods.
- Environmental-friendly unit, no need for compressed air, or hydraulic power source.
- Static and dynamic load applies from the bottom of triaxial cell.
- Different submersible transducers for higher accuracy is available.
- For all requirements of seismic research, and all kinds of stress and strain path tests
- Electromechanical or Servo-Pneumatic Cyclic pressure controller for generating hydrostatic pressures (3, 10 or 20 bar) up to 10 Hz to perform static or cyclic confining pressures.

Fully automatic multi channel Triaxial control and data acquisition software ,GEOSYS-Professional-Windows version, this free programmable software solution gives the possible to the user to realise every stress or strain controlled test (standard triaxial tests, stress-path tests) and any other tests procedures with complex sequences (test editor) with any amount and free definable stop and calculated criteria (formula editor)
For example the structure can be as followed:
- Test type and conditions / Specimen parameters
- Test stages with
- consolidation stage (isotropic or anisotropic)
- saturation stage (saturated/unsaturated)
- B-value check control
- B Check, Sauration ramps, Isotropic consolidation
- saturation ramps of cell pressure and back pressure
- Standard Triaxial Testing : UU, CU,CD with pore pressure measurement
- unconsolidated - undrained with pore pressure measurement
- consolidated - drained with pore pressure measurement
- all shear stages (compression and extension tests for simulating all kinds of stress-paths
- K0-tests (if hardware is available)
- unsaturated test conditions with air pressure control
- Advance Loading Module
- Load Control low frequency cyclic loading
