Note: The displayed image shows the basic VJT Product with some additional accessories

The VJ Tech Dynamic (Cyclic) Simple & Direct Shear Apparatus has been designed to perform;

Dynamic (Cyclic) Shear,
Direct/Residual Shear or
Direct Simple Shear tests.

The Apparatus incorporates 2 electro-mechanical actuators for Horizontal and Vertical movement, which are controlled from a Dual Axis Dynamic Servo Controller (DSC3000MM) via Ethernet or USB from a PC.

The sample is contained within either a Direct Shear assembly or a Simple Shear assembly (interchangeable) as required. Cyclic controlled tests can be carried out using Sine, Square, Triangular, Haversine, Saw Tooth, Rectangular or User Defined waveforms.
