A testing facility dedicated to characterising the mechanical behaviour of materials and components under static and dynamic loading conditions, including fatigue testing and fracture mechanics.
The centre offers uniaxial and multiaxial testing capabilities (axial and torsional), allowing complex loading conditions representative of real operating environments to be applied.
It enables the assessment of mechanical strength, fatigue life and crack propagation, as well as the determination of fracture mechanics parameters in accordance with ASTM standards.
Its reinforced frame and slotted test table configuration allow testing to be performed on both standardised specimens and industrial components.
