A tensile tester includes a tester main body that executes a material test, an association storage portion that stores a specific word and instruction information to the tester main body in association with each other, a voice receiving portion that receives a voice from a user, an extraction portion that extracts the specific word from the voice by voice recognition processing, a determination portion that determines, with reference to the association storage portion, the instruction information corresponding to the specific word extracted by the extraction portion, and an instruction portion that outputs, to the tester main body, the instruction information determined by the determination portion.

An additive manufacturing obstacle part can comprise a base structure comprising at least one external obstacle, and at least one internal obstacle that is formed at least partially within the base structure. The at least one internal obstacle can comprise an elongated internal obstacle extending through the base structure between an inlet and an outlet formed in the base structure. The elongated internal obstacle can comprise at least one wall extending along a nonlinear path. The non-linear path can hinder travel of excess material from an additive manufacturing process along a linear path between the inlet and outlet. This can help a designer to assess an additive manufacturers ability to cleanly produce an internal feature to specifications while removing excess material resulting from the additive manufacturing process.

The multiple rig stress corrosion cracking testing device is a stress corrosion cracking and sulfide stress cracking testing device for engineering material specimens. The device includes a pressure and temperature autoclave chamber and also includes four testing rigs for simultaneous stress corrosion cracking testing of a circumferential notched tensile specimen, a compact tension or a double cantilever beam specimen, a cantilever bend specimen, and a center cracked plate specimen under varying experimental conditions. The specimens may be of similar or different materials.

An apparatus for measuring mechanical properties of a downhole material, including first and second fixtures each of the fixtures containing a force application fixture to apply a stress to a specimen of the downhole material. A confining sleeve wraps around portions of the first and second fixtures to form a sealed specimen chamber defined by an inner surface of the confining sleeve and ends of the first and second fixtures nearest the specimen. Wall of a confining chamber contain the first and second fixtures, the confining sleeve and the specimen therein. The confining chamber holds a hydraulic fluid therein such that the hydraulic fluid can exert a confining pressure on the confining sleeve to maintain the seal of the specimen chamber and to maintain contact between the inner surface of the confining sleeve and the specimen when the stress is applied to the specimen. First channels pass though one or more of the walls of the confining chamber to add and remove the hydraulic fluid to and from the confining chamber. Second channels pass though one or more of the walls of the confining chamber and through one of the first and second fixtures to add and remove a pore space fluid to and from specimen chamber ports open to the specimen chamber to maintain a pore pressure at the specimen chamber ports that is equal to or less than the confining pressure while the stress is applied to the specimen. A system and method are also disclosed.

Provided is a method for testing a melt-fabricable fluororesin injection-molded article which enables easy determination of whether or not a tested article is a defective article due to a crack or delamination. The method for testing a melt-fabricable fluororesin injection-molded article includes determining whether or not a melt-fabricable fluororesin injection-molded article is defective due to a crack or delamination based on a stress-strain curve or tensile strength-strain curve obtained by a tensile test performed on the injection-molded article.

A high-temperature in-situ loaded computed tomography (CT) testing system based on a laboratory X-ray source and a method therefor are provided. A dynamic sealing device is adopted. A pull-up pressure rod and a pull-down pressure rod are allowed to rotate circumferentially and move axially. Meanwhile, a high-temperature furnace is fixed without rotating or moving, such that the high-temperature furnace is flat in an imaging direction to shorten an imaging distance and improve imaging quality. An independent tensile testing machine is utilized to achieve high-load loading. The in-situ measurement of internal deformation and damage information of a specimen under tensile or compressive load in a high-temperature environment is implemented. By taking advantage of the miniaturization design of the high-temperature device, the accuracy of the damage test using the laboratory X-ray source is increased. Tests and researches on the internal damage and failure behavior of the high-temperature materials can be conducted.
