Poly-axial load frames are designed to simulate reservoir conditions on large cubical samples. These systems are typically used to perform scaled hydraulic fracturing experiments to study the effect of stress state on shape and orientation of a fracture. Acoustic sensors can be used to monitor acoustic events during a fracture.
