title = "Biaxial load system for elasto-plastic interface testing",
abstract = "We have developed a biaxial load system for testing elasto-plastic interface samples. The system can independently apply normal and shear tractions far field to the sample. The design of the load frame is similar to the work of Chai and Liechti which is based upon two linear bearing fixtures attached to the specimen. We have modified this design by adding a second set of bearings to float the entire frame while increasing the overall load capacity. This paper will describe the loading system: the frame, the fixtures to apply independent shear and normal loads, an integral 4 beam phase shifted moire interferometer and finally some of the recent biaxial results we have produced for interface cracks exhibiting plasticity.",
