Laboratory Resources
Laboratory
The Division of Structural Mechanics has access to advanced equipment for physical validation of computer models and identification of material parameters through laboratory tests. The equipment includes a bi-axial testing machine, especially designed for fracture mechanics testing of solid materials and adhesive bonds, equipped with a contact free measurement device. Also a standard servo-hydraulic, closed-loop, uniaxial testing machine is available. Loading devices (60) for long-term testing of structural components under varying climate conditions (outdoor sheltered) are also available.
