Cyclic Test and Frequency Limits Capable of tension/tension or compression/compression cyclic testing only. Cyclic
tests are limited to ramp type waveforms as defined within the materials testing
software package being used with the system. Frequency limits are defined by the
compliance of the specimen and the dynamic control limit of the system. The frame
uses a single acting ram to apply load and is not capable of forced unloading
through hydraulics and relies solely on specimen compliance and/or gravity to return
the ram. Therefore, cycling performance is completely dependent on specimen
characteristics. In all cases, the frequency for cyclic testing is limited to 1 Hz or less.
