Optimal Cruciform Specimen Design Using the Direct Multi-search Method and Design Variable Influence Study

Nowadays the development of new testing machines and the optimization of new specimen geometries are two very demanding activities. In order to study complex material stress and strain distributions, as in-plane biaxial loading, one must develop new technical solutions. A new type of testing machine...
