Description
A multi-station testing system for characterizing the long-term fatigue properties of polymeric materials and composites. It is designed for accelerated testing and large-scale data generation to parameterize service life and provide input for numerical and AI/ML models.
The system applies controlled cyclic loads, with adjustable amplitude and frequency, across multiple stations in parallel, reducing testing time and costs compared with conventional testing methods.
Equipment
- Multi-station fatigue testing machine with several independent loading stations.
- Controlled cyclic loading system with adjustable amplitude, frequency, and loading modes.
- Interchangeable fixtures for test specimens and components.
- Strain and temperature sensors.
- Data acquisition and recording system for long-duration testing.
- Control, analysis, and data export software for simulation and AI/ML applications.
Services
- Long-term fatigue testing of thermoplastics, elastomers, and reinforced composites.
- Development of accelerated testing methodologies to reduce characterization time and costs.
- Generation and curation of databases for finite element analysis (FEA) and AI/ML models.
- Support for the design and sizing of components subjected to cyclic loading.
- Participation in R&D projects focused on the durability, aging, and service life of polymeric materials.
