Default hydraulic valve - opens on set pressure, closes no pressure

And what about heat? Flexing metal creates heat. If you accelerate
flexing to speed up failure detection you will likely create heat that

Heating is pretty negligible.
On a resonant machine you can test at up to around 300Hz and there is
no drift in values obtained compared to at much slower rates.
You have full elastic energy recovery.

Servo-hydraulic - not recovering elastic energy with the drive heats
the oil away from the sample where you dump the pressure - and you
dump that heat through "raditiators" (forced convectors transfering
oil-to-air).

But the sample is seeing full energy recovery / negligible energy
loss.
