I am designing a compression test rig for tissues and I wish to use hydraulics for actuation. When I reference small footprint I would want something that can fit in a cube with an edge length of 1ft or less. My requirements on the pump and cylinder are mild. I am looking for a stroke length of...
The cycling would probably be from 1000 psi to 0 at 1-5 hz. The larger pressures would be to simulate trauma. You have a point about pushing gas into the liquid media present. I will have to actually ensure the vessel is flooded. It sounds like I will be just making this out of steel. Anyone...
Sorry for not being specific. I would be most concerned with burst and creep failure. I am in the USA. Other science labs have designed similar pieces of equipment, made of steel. I want to switch materials and make a few other modifications. I would like this piece of equipment to be usable for...
This would be safety factor for failure. This would be a piece of research equipment, I would want to adhere to any given standard out of concerns for safety of myself and future users, though I am not required to follow any guideline.
Hello all,
I am in the preliminary phases of designing a bioreactor capable of withstanding pressurization up to 25 MPa ( i would like 50 but given some of my other design requirements i wont press my luck). I would like a safety factor of 3 so basically I am designing something to tolerate 75...
