Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed example guides for a compression test apparatus, having a test sample between a first loading plate and an opposing load applied in a loading direction towards the first loading plate from the test sample, comprise: a support plate on each side of the sample; a support member having at least a first portion positionable between the first loading plate and the opposing load and extending substantially parallel to the loading direction to constrain the sample in a direction perpendicular to the loading direction, wherein at least one of the support plates has one or more of the support members operably mounted thereto so that the first portion contacts the sample in a first position relative to its support plate; and the guide is configured so that, when the opposing load is applied to the sample, each first portion moves away from the first position in the loading direction.
