Abstract

The present invention relates to a test system and method capable of simultaneously carrying out a high-throughput test of mechanical properties for miniature specimens. The system comprises one workstation (17) and a plurality of specimen test modules (16) installed horizontally or vertically on a workbench (15), wherein the workstation (17) comprises an operation interface, a data processing unit and a load output unit; each specimen test module (16) comprises a drive unit (5), an interchangeable clamp unit (8), a displacement sensor (2), and a load sensor (14); the workstation (17) controls the drive unit (5) of the specimen test module (16) and receives detection data of the displacement sensor (2) and the load sensor (14); each specimen test module (16) optionally performs mechanical property testing independently; and the workstation (17) controls simultaneously started testing of a plurality of specimens (9). The present invention can achieve tensile, bending, compression bending, stress-rupture, relaxation, and fatigue strength tests on a plurality of specimens at the same time.
