Abstract
Provided are universal grip systems and method of using universal grip systems to test coupons. According to various examples, a universal grip system includes two grips and two guide posts for supporting the two grips and allowing the two grips to move with respect to each other. Each grip may include one or two wedges. The wedges are used to engage the coupons during testing and provide anti-buckling support and/or anti-rotation support. The wedges are slidably coupled within corresponding grips, which allows the universal grip system to engage and disengage the coupons by moving one grip with respect to another. The grips may be constructed from thermally neutral materials, such as invar 36. The grips may thermally isolated from the guide posts by, for example, a set of spacers disposed between the grips and linear bearing slidably coupled to the guide posts.
