Described is a method of controlling a material testing system that includes controlling an actuator to transfer a first force acting in a first direction to a test material. The method further includes receiving, via one or more sensors, continuous data indicating one or more physical quantities associated with the test material. Based upon the continuous data, it may be determined that a change in one or more physical quantities has occurred. Based upon a change in one or more physical quantities it may be determined that an end point of a material test has been reached. The method further includes controlling an actuator to stop transfer of the first force and further to controlling the actuate to transfer a second force which acts to counteract the effects of the first force and prevent unwanted motion of one or more portions of the material testing system.

A dual piezoelectric wire sensor system and a method for non-destructive testing of a cylindrical structure utilizes a pair of H-shaped calipers attached to the cylindrical structure at radial positions ninety degrees apart. Each H-shaped caliper includes two arms and a crossbar connected to and perpendicular to the two arms. A caliper connecter is attached to the first ends of each arm. A wire connecter is attached to the second ends of each arm, between which a piezoelectric wire is connected and stretched. An electrical terminal connects one wire connector to a two-port signal subtractor, which receives signals from the two H-shaped calipers and generates a difference signal. A measurement unit, connected to the two-port signal subtractor, receives the difference signal, performs a frequency analysis, identifies a resonant frequency of an ovalling mode and identifies a stiffness value of the cylindrical structure.
