<p>A material testing machine includes a control system for feedback-controlling the operation of a servo system, including an actuator for applying a load to a test piece, during material testing. Prior to the material testing, the stiffness of the test piece is estimated on the basis of the actual load and displacement which are detected after the displacement of the test piece is stabilized while maintaining the load observed when a minute displacement is generated in the test piece as the control gain is increased from its minimum value. In accordance with the estimated stiffness, the initial value of the control gain for the control system is set. During the material testing, the control gain is corrected in accordance with the stiffness of the test piece estimated based on the actual load and displacement of the test piece. Upon changeover between the force control mode and the displacement control mode, the initial setting of the control output value for post-changeover is made based on the control output value given to the servo system just before the changeover, to thereby achieve a smooth control mode changeover. <IMAGE></p> |
