  • Intelligent automated load control system and method
    Patent number: 10184864
    Abstract: A system for automating load conditions on a test specimen includes a test equipment assembly that includes one or more test components configured to apply load to the test specimen. The system includes a control system to actuate the load, and includes a controller that receives and transmits data to sensors and actuators operatively connected to the test equipment assembly. The system includes a data analyzer connected to the control system to transmit a loading sequence to the controller for actuating the test equipment assembly. The data analyzer receives and processes the data from the controller to determine whether the test specimen is within an acceptable stress range as the test equipment assembly performs the loading sequence, and transmits data to the controller to reduce the load on the test specimen if the acceptable stress range is exceeded.
