ABSTRACT:
A load module for use with a uniaxial materials testing apparatus includes a module frame defining a rectangular opening therein defined by two opposed first sides and two opposed second sides, and a floating bracket disposed within the rectangular opening for movement between the first sides. A fixed grip for holding a first end of a test sample is rigidly attached to one of the first sides. A floating grip is rigidly fixed to the floating bracket on a side of the bracket facing the fixed grip. The floating grip for holding a second end of the test sample is axially aligned with the fixed grip. Linear bearings disposed between the second sides and the floating bracket are configured and located to constrain motion of the floating bracket to a single axis.
