For mechanical testing, an electrodynamic vibration system with 22 kN force is used to generate sine and random excitation. Active accelerometers and force sensors are connected to a 40-channel data acquisition system. In addition, a laser vibrometer can be connected to the system for non-intrusive measurements. Test adapters can be designed for dedicated tests.
The Laboratory also has access to powerful thermal computing facilities and associated software tools for designing test set-ups, modelling, conducting post-test thermal correlation and performing the general analysis of test results.
