FIBEr
Model: Biaxial Testing Machine for Biomaterials
Manufacturer: ZwickRoell & FIBEr
About
The planar biaxial testing device loads a sample of a soft biological tissue biaxially by imposing a force or displacement in two perpendicular directions. It allows characterizing the mechanical behaviour of soft tissues including its anisotropy. Samples can be either square or cruciform-shaped, and are mounted using rakes, sutures or clamps. The four motors and load cells can be controlled independently. This device is also used for a variety of uniaxial tensile tests such as a strip extension, ring-extension and simple shear test.
