Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An assembly for testing a durability of a soft body armor system includes a top mounting assembly, a bottom mounting assembly, the soft body armor system being fixedly disposed between the top mounting assembly and the bottom mounting assembly, a rotary actuator coupled to the top mounting assembly, the rotary actuator configured to rotate the top mounting assembly in a range of approximately +90 degrees to and including −90 degrees, a linear bearing on each end of the bottom mounting assembly, and a bearing rod on which each linear bearing is configured to ride. A rotation of the top mounting assembly induces torsional, axial and bending forces substantially simultaneously on the soft body armor system.
