A device and a method for peeling tests, in order to test the peeling resistance of coupons each formed of a support and an adhesive. The device comprises: (i) a frame comprising rollers with parallel axes designed to maintain the coupon supported while guiding movement of the latter, (ii) a traction device comprising a vertical jack linked to an attachment element comprising a loop configured in order to cause detachment of the adhesive from the surface of the support, (iii) a device for measuring the force exerted by the jack in order to pull the loop during peeling, and (iv) a coupon, complex in shape, such as one derived from a reinforced vane. At least one roller is translationally adjustable in relation to other rollers and the coupon is specially prepared in order to facilitate carrying out the tests.

A coupon suitable for peeling tests, derived from a vane and comprising: (i) a portion of blade that comprises a frontside surface, a backside surface and a leading edge and/or trailing edge and (ii) a vane reinforcement that covers and is glued to at least a part of the frontside surface, a part of the backside surface and which extends beyond the leading and/or trailing edge. The reinforcement is split over the entire length of the leading edge and/or trailing edge such that the reinforcement is separated into two plates separate from one another and facing each other on either side of the slit beyond the leading and/or trailing edge. Furthermore, at least one of the plates furthermore comprises, beyond the leading and/or trailing edge, fastening means providing a hold to this same plate.

Three actuators arranged on an identical plane are used, and a tensile load is applied to each tensile section of a test piece including three tensile sections by using each actuator to conduct a tension test on the test piece.

One example of the present disclosure relates to a coupon. The coupon includes a first surface with a first circular channel and a second surface opposite and parallel to the first surface. The second surface is spaced a distance D0 from the first surface and includes a second circular channel concentric with the first circular channel. The coupon also includes a toroidal portion between the first circular channel and the second circular channel. The toroidal portion includes a rectangular sectional portion.

A mold coating agent test device includes a frame positioning portion and a connection positioning portion. The frame positioning portion positions a frame portion of a metal mold such that the frame portion of the metal mold is positioned at a predetermined position when the metal mold is placed on a metal block. The connection positioning portion positions a connecting portion such that the connecting portion that is a portion provided in the frame portion and to which a drive unit that applies a force is connected is positioned at a predetermined position when the metal mold is placed on the metal block.

The present disclosure discloses a deformation and control simulation test system for a tunnel engineering supporting structure, including a follow-up hoisting platform, actuators, a control system. It is horizontal structure. The follow-up hoisting platform reduces the friction caused by the weight of testing sample and facilitates experimental operations. Each actuator fixed on an annular box body reaction frame can move independently through a control system in form of force control or displacement control mode, and can achieve circumferential contraction loading through its gomphodont configuration. The hinged and curved design of the cushion blocks of actuators can adapt to the circumferential contraction deformation of a test sample and maintain a close fit with them during the loading process. The present disclosure provides a good solution for physical model tests on deformation and control of tunnel engineering supporting structures including uniform loading, non-uniform loading, and long-term loading conditions.

A system for composite material delamination testing at elevated temperatures is disclosed. The system includes a testing machine, means for increasing temperature of a test article, a specimen made from composite material, and a specimen mount for coupling the specimen to the testing machine. The specimen mount is configured to endure temperatures greater than ambient applied to the specimen so as to enable elevated temperature testing.

A biaxial load test specimen includes a main body and four arms. The main body has a plurality of through-holes aligned along axial directions of two load axes orthogonal to each other. The four arms extend from the main body in the respective axial directions of the load axes. Each of the arms has a plurality of slit grooves extending, on respective extensions of the through-holes aligned in the axial directions, along the respective axial directions.
