A system for simulating in situ drilling and treatment conditions on a core sample from a subterranean formation is disclosed. The system re-creates various subterranean loads and temperatures on a test sample representative of actual in situ conditions from the particular formation while a test structure within the system performs drilling activities on the core sample using drilling and treating under evaluation for use in the particular subterranean formation. Thus, the impact on selected drilling and treating fluids can be evaluated as well as the impact those fluids had on a sample from the subterranean formation under in situ conditions.

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.

Described herein are examples of improved material (and/or universal) testing machines having a lower crossbeam that may be moved via a drive system of the material testing machine. In some examples, this may be accomplished via drive shafts with different threading in upper and lower portions, and/or independent drive systems for upper and lower crossbeams. The ability to dynamically adjust (e.g., raise) the lower crossbeam may allow an operator to interact with test samples at a more comfortable height, and reduce the need for an operator to repeatedly bend and/or kneel.

A rock direct tensile test platform suitable for all material test machines includes a support frame. A top of the support frame is fixed with a top plate, and a bearing plate is provided above the top plate. The bearing plate is provided with a plurality of vertical force transferring rods. The force transferring rods vertically penetrate through the top plate and have a sliding fit with the top plate. Lower ends of the force transferring rods are provided with a tensile base. A top of the tensile base is provided with a lower clamp holder. A bottom of the top plate is provided with an upper clamp holder, and a clamp center of the upper clamp holder coincides with a clamp center of the lower clamp holder.

In a case where control input is performed via a low-pass filter, a control gain more appropriate for both stability and responsiveness is set according to setting of the low-pass filter. A control unit (21) performs control input for a load mechanism (40) via a low-pass filter, discriminates a stability of a control system including the load mechanism (40) and the low-pass filter when setting of the low-pass filter is changed, sets an appropriate control gain based on a maximum control gain at which an excess amount of a measured value with respect to a target value is equal to or less than a predetermined value within a range where that the control system is stable, and controls an operation of the load mechanism (40) by using the appropriate control gain.

A detecting machine for a yield rate of bristles of a toothbrush and a detecting method for the bristles are provided. The detecting machine includes a power device and two rotating units, and the two rotating units are rotatably mounted on a side surface of the power unit. The two rotating units are disposed parallel to each other. When in a rotating condition, the two rotating units rotate in opposite rotating directions. When a manufacturer horizontally disposes a toothbrush between the two rotating units, the surfaces of the two rotating units may compress the bristles and pull the bristles toward a direction away from the toothbrush. Therefore the manufacturer can inspect whether the bristles are firmly mounted on the toothbrush.

A shock-resistance testing apparatus includes a support base, a first rotating component and a controller provided on the support base. A second rotating component is coupled to one side of the first rotating component. A testing board is placed on the first rotating component. A falling board is placed on the testing board. The controller controls the first rotating component to drive the second rotating component rotating from one side of the testing board to another side of the testing board. The controller controls the second rotating component to lift the testing board. The controller controls the second rotating component to move away from the testing board so that the testing board falls.

The present application relates generally to moving die rheometers, and more particularly to moving die rheometers that employ a variable eccentric cam. In one aspect, the eccentricity produced by the cam may be adjusted using shims of different thickness to alter the position of the post on the cam.

A torsional testing device for testing helical tensile strength, shear strength, and interface bond shear strength using an apparatus to apply torsional loads on a cylindrical specimen is provided. A plurality of slings is wrapped in opposed circular directions around the specimen. A connecting bar is coupled to a first end of each of the slings. A second end of each of the slings is coupled to a frame. A conventional compression load testing machine applies a compressive load to the connecting member causing the slings to apply rotational forces to the specimen in opposite senses creating torsional stresses. Rotational forces are transmitted to the cylindrical specimen due to friction between the slings and the surface of the specimen being tested. The amount of force applied to the specimen is measured so that the torsional strength of different specimens can be compared.

The present application provides a testing device. The testing device includes: a box, a pressing mechanism, a sliding mechanism, a transmission mechanism, and first clamping mechanisms. The pressing mechanism is located inside the box. A gap between the pressing mechanism and the first side of the box is used to place substrates to be tested. The pressing mechanism is slidably connected to the sliding mechanism. The transmission mechanism is connected to the pressing mechanism to drive the pressing mechanism to move. Each first clamping mechanism is used to hold one of the substrates to be tested.
