How to design a biaxial fixture for uniaxial testing machine

[douglas hansen]

Im a senior student in mechanical engineering. My senior project is to build a biaxial fixture to mount on a uniaxial testing machine. The reason for this is so that we can perform a biaxial stress testing on a cruciformed shaped specimen. Right now, me and my group are just brainstorming ideas. Here's hoping that you guys have any thought on this idea.
