1. An apparatus for applying at least one cyclical load to a specimen, the specimen extending at least along a longitudinal axis, comprising:

  • a mass;

    an actuator mounted to the specimen and operatively associated with said mass, said actuator moving said mass along a linear displacement path that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the specimen; and

    a control system operatively associated with said actuator, said control system operating said actuator to reciprocate said mass along the linear displacement path at a reciprocating frequency, said reciprocating frequency being about equal to a resonance frequency of the specimen in a test configuration.
