Our Dynamic Simple Shear with Confining Pressure System has been designed to test a sample at a confined pressure in a dynamically changing environment. It consists of a Dynamic Simple Shear with Confining Pressure Apparatus which uses 2 electro-mechanical dynamic actuators for applying the vertical and horizontal loads to the sample held under Pressure in an adapted Triaxial type Cell. The actuators are controlled by the Dual Axis Dynamic Servo Controller which which also services feedback from the transducers. Back Pressure is controlled and measured using a Hydraulic APC and Cell Presssure with an Air APC with Air/Water interface. The whole System is controlled over a network or via USB by the Clisp Studio csDYNSS-C software module.
The Dynamic Simple & Direct Shear System has been designed to perform either Direct/Residual, Direct Simple Shear or Dynamic Simple Shear testing. The system uses a dual axis servo controller for horizontal and vertical motion with interchangeable carriages for the different types of Shear Test. The whole System is controlled over a network by the Clisp Studio csShear, csDSS or csDYNSS software modules as applicable.
