1. A system, comprising:
a testing fixture, the testing fixture comprising:
a control system;
a mounting assembly;
a bottom plate;
a linear actuator assembly communicatively coupled to the control system, wherein the linear actuator assembly comprises an actuator that is operatively coupled to the mounting assembly and facilitates selective translation of the mounting assembly along a longitudinal axis relative to the bottom plate, wherein the bottom plate remains stationary during the translation of the mounting assembly along the longitudinal axis;
a motor communicatively coupled to the control system, wherein the motor is operatively coupled to the mounting assembly and facilitates selective rotation of the mounting assembly and the linear actuator assembly about the longitudinal axis relative to the bottom plate, wherein the bottom plate remains stationary during the rotation of the mounting assembly and the linear actuator assembly about the longitudinal axis; and
a load cell operatively coupled to the mounting assembly, wherein the load cell is communicatively coupled to the control system.
