A racquet extending along a longitudinal axis and including a frame including a head portion, a handle portion, and a throat portion. The head portion forms a hoop that defines a string bed plane. At least the head portion and the throat portion of the frame are formed at least in part of a fiber composite material. When the racquet is tested under the racquet lateral bending test, the racquet has a lateral deflection of at least 6.0 mm when measured in a direction that is parallel to the string bed plane and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

The present disclosure relates to an in-situ testing device including a measuring head, a drive mechanism, and a testing chamber. The testing chamber is provided with a first optical observation hole. The measuring head is provided with a second optical observation hole. The testing chamber is provided with an opening allowing the measuring head to pass. The testing chamber is further provided with a shielding door, and the drive mechanism is connected to the shielding door to drive the shielding door to move relative to the testing chamber, to open or cover the opening, thereby opening or closing the testing chamber.

Disclosed herein are devices and methods for generating and/or verifying a predictive temperature stress and time creep modulus, approving or rejecting a medical device, verifying a medical device design using a linear device model, and generating coefficients using thermal analysis.

A device for testing durability of a cowl crossbar comprises a main picture including an input driver for a rotational durability test and a bending stiffness test on a specimen including motor driven power steering (MDPS)-mounted cowl crossbar, an output loader performing, together with the input driver, the rotational durability test and the bending stiffness test and outputting a test value, and a specimen stand disposed between the input driver and the output loader to relocatably support the specimen, and a controller controlling the main picture for the rotational durability test and the bending stiffness test.

Methods and systems are provided for a torsional material testing system, which includes a rotatable actuator, such as a motor, configured to perform a torsional material testing operation. During a torsional material testing operation, a virtual interlock is configured to engage or disengage with the actuator to prevent or allow rotational movement of the actuator (e.g., during a setup state or during a torsional material testing operation, respectively). A control circuitry is employed to control the virtual interlock as well as the torsional testing system based on one or more operational states before, during, or after a material testing process.
