Comprehensive Materials List for MTS Parts To be machined (shown visually in PPT):

1. Axial stage

2. Axial testing top component (stainless steel block with low friction plastic)

3. Small torsional testing bottom pot (2.25” inner diameter)

4. Large torsional testing bottom pot (4” inner diameter)

5. Small torsional testing top pot (4” inner diameter)

6. Large torsional testing top pot (8” inner diameter)

7. 3 and 4 point bend top component

8. 3 and 4 point bend bottom component

9. Cantilever roller

10. Cantilever stage

11. Cantilever specimen holder

12. Cantilever specimen holders with detachable bottom for potting (x2) Desired material for all machined parts: Stainless Steel (304SS) but would like to discuss with designers if aluminum would be better for some parts Other necessary items for axial testing (cross-table will connect to stage, bench vise to cross-table):

1. Cross-slide table (50lb capacity)

2. Rotating head bench vise

All necessary parts to make pieces fit together/in machine will be purchased by bidder and accompany machined parts. We expect these to include:

1. Screws (M8x1.25, M12x1.25, etc) (Stainless steel)

2. Universal joints (x2 for torsion)

3. T slot nuts and bolts, etc.

Our expected series of events:

· Travel to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth to measure MTS Machine and speak with Bioengineer about preliminary part drawings and ways to make the parts fit together

· Coordinate with Bioengineer about part drawings, requirements, and receive final approval

· Travel to NMCP with machined parts and purchased parts necessary to ensure proper fit and meets all testing requirements. Rework parts if necessary image1.jpeg image2.jpeg
