The invention discloses a loading device used for a lateral-
torsional vibration fatigue experiment and a method thereof. A sliding groove is formed in a base, brackets are installed at the two ends ofthe base, and a
vibration exciter is connected to the sliding groove; the base body is connected with the brackets through bolts, rotary shafts are arranged on the two sides of a sliding sleeve, a clamping roller is installed above the sliding sleeve, and the rotary shafts are connected with a sliding seat and a shaft hole of a side plate; a guiding rod is sleeved with the sliding sleeve, and oneend of the guiding rod is connected with a
loading arm; a clamping seat and a clamping head of the
loading arm are opposite to each other, a V-shaped groove is formed in the clamping seat, and a second coupler is installed below the clamping seat. The loading device has adjustability and enough clamping force to ensure the stability of a platform, can provide pure torsion loading, torsion and transverse bending
coupling loading, torsion and longitudinal bending
coupling loading, torsion and oblique bending
coupling loading and
pure bending loading, has the advantages of high accuracy, high efficiency, low cost and multiple functions, and has important practical value regarding the completion of the
vibration fatigue performance experiment for experimental piece materials with rectangularcross sections and circular cross sections.
