Abstract
The plan for test system's shake down and eventual (funding permitting) bi-axial testing of grade NBG-18 graphite in the second and third stress quadrant are reported. Testing in the first and fourth stress quadrants was previously reported. Details of the specimen and test system design are given along with the anticipated stress ratios to be tested, including specimen numbers are reported. The estimated test pressures needed to attain the planned stress ratios are reported.
