[0037] 2. Start the actuator to drive the upper platen down toward the wheel, and keep the lever extension loading rate of the actuator at 20 mm / min ± 2.5 mm / min until it contacts the sample;

[0038] 3. Apply a preload of 275N±50N and clear the load and displacement values ​​of the equipment;

[0040] 5. Apply load to the wheel until the load on the wheel reaches its peak, and continue to move the upper pressure plate 13mm toward the wheel to ensure that there is no secondary load peak;

[0041] 6. The condition for determining whether the load on the wheel reaches its peak value is that after the wheel is deformed due to extrusion damage, the load value does not increase as the displacement continues to increase;

[0042] 7. Stop applying load and unload.
