1. A system for applying loads to a test specimen, the system comprising:

  • a controller;

    an actuator operatively coupled to the controller to operate based on control signals therefrom and adapted to apply loads or control displacement of a test specimen;

    one or more transducers that provide signals to the controller indicative of at least one of measured loads or measured displacements on the test specimen; and

    wherein the controller is adapted to control said actuator based on signals from at least one of the one or more transducers and a predetermined representation of additional aspects of the test specimen for generating at least one of a simulated load or a simulated displacement.
