Abstract
An actuator control system, mechanical testing system, and method for adaptive control of an actuator of a mechanical testing device is provided. The method may include applying a mechanical load to the specimen with the actuator, resulting in receiving a load sensor signal from a load sensor and a displacement sensor signal from a displacement sensor, determining a plurality of dynamic characteristics of the mechanical testing device throughout a length of the test from data received from the load sensor signal and the displacement sensor signal, and controlling the actuator based on the plurality of dynamic characteristics to adapt the actuator to track a desired performance of the actuator.
