Claim:
1. A testing apparatus for exposing an associated specimen to movement along multiple axes, the testing apparatus comprising: a first test chamber dimensioned to receive the associated specimen; a first device operatively connected to the first test chamber to impose a first rotational movement on the associated specimen; a second device operatively connected to the first test chamber to impose a second rotational movement different than the first movement on the associated specimen; a third device operatively connected to the first test chamber to impose a linear translation on the associated specimen; a fourth device operatively connected to the first test chamber to impose a dynamic force on the associated specimen; a drive mechanism operatively connected to the first, second, third, and fourth devices so that at least one of the first, second, third and fourth devices is driven by the drive mechanism and the at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth devices delivers a force on the test chamber; and an inline soak control mechanism that is dimensioned to receive an associated soak control specimen and the soak control mechanism configured so that the associated soak control specimen is not subject to the rotational movements of the first and second devices and the linear translation of the third device.
