Abstract: A compact material testing system is configured to expose multiple samples housed within separate sample chambers to simulated fluid, thermal, and mechanical loading conditions. The system includes multiple independent load actuators positioned to extend actuator rods into corresponding sample chambers to apply mechanical loading to the test sample within. A fluid control system is included to bathe each test sample in a fluid medium and replenish the fluid medium within its sample chamber as needed. Each sample chamber includes a gas inlet and gas outlet to provide non-turbulent circulation and control of atmospheric composition above the fluid medium inside the chamber. A logic programmable controller is provided for input of test parameters and automated simultaneous control of mechanical loading, fluid flow, and temperature in the sample chambers.

Abstract: Concerns a process to execute thermal cycling tests on odontological materials in a specific equipment, with the basic goal of accelerating the decay of the interface between different materials, and the intrinsic decay of the test object itself, and of simulating oral conditions, keeping the test object fixed in the interior of a test chamber, isolated from the external environment, and the internal environment being adjusted to the desired temperature by way of liquids in diverse temperatures, contained in vats.
