Dynamic Simple & Direct Shear System


Dynamic (Cyclic) Simple & Direct Shear System

For prices: call +44 (0)118 945 3737 or Email us
The VJ Tech Dynamic Simple & Direct Shear System has been designed to perform either Dynamic Shear, Direct/Residual Shear or Direct Simple Shear tests and incorporates;

  • A sturdy frame with 2 electro-mechanical actuators for Horizontal and Vertical movement
  • A Dual Axis Dynamic Servo Controller (DSC3000MM) for actuator control & Transducer data logging
  • Interchangeable Direct Shear or Simple Shear carriage assembly for the sample
The System can be used for either a:

  • Direct/Residual Shear test
  • Simple Shear test with the height of the sample kept constant using Active height control
  • Cyclic Simple Shear test with a cyclic horizontal force & constant Vertical stress applied
  • Cyclic Simple Shear test with a cyclic horizontal force & constant height maintained
  • Cyclic Simple Shear test with a cyclic horizontal displacement & Vertical stress maintained
  • Cyclic Simple Shear test with a cyclic horizontal displacement & constant height maintained
