As global concerns increase about the pace of energy transition in accounting for long-term climate risks, the shift from fossil-based energy production to renewable sources, like wind, has been accelerated. Within Taiwan, the national offshore wind allocation plan has set a target of increasing local production to 20GW by 2035.

We have just released a new video demonstrating the sample preparation method for our Electromechanical Dynamic Cyclic Simple Shear Device (EMDCSS). Learn step by step how to prepare a sample.

To mark the sale of our 100th Electromechanical Dynamic Cyclic Simple Shear Device, we take a look back at how one of our most in-demand products has developed over the past 14 years.

We will be hosting our first ever "Live Event" on one of our most in-demand apparatus, the Electro-Mechanical Dynamic Cyclic Simple Shear Device (EMDCSS). As we celebrate shipping our 100th EMDCSS, join us on the 16th May at 11.55pm (BST) as we run through what makes this system so popular with both our research and commercial customers. 

GDS Instruments recently installed a Quasi Dynamic Triaxial system, with sample ranges up to 150mm at the University of California Davis. The system was purchased with Bender Elements upgrade and expanded data acquisition allowing for future instrumentation upgrades. 

Diogo Teles has just returned from Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in Brazil. He installed an Electromechanical Dynamic Cyclic Simple Shear Device (EMDCSS) system with Bender Elements at COPPE's LABTEST Laboratory.
