Dynamic-mechanical tests

In each phase of their life cycle - manufacture, transport, use - products are exposed to dynamic-mechanical stresses which may impair their function, reliability and safety. 

We analyse the effects of vibrations, shocks and impacts on devices and components. In life-cycle tests we expose products to permanent stresses in order to detect possible material and functional alterations. 

We perform the following kinds of dynamic-mechanical tests:

• Vibration and shock
• Impact
• Fall and tumbling barrel tests
  • free fall
  • drop
  • topple

• Combined tests, i.e. mechanical stresses under defined climatic conditions
• Detection of background noise: tests for undesired noise such as squeaking, rattling, cracking and creaking under defined vibration conditions, especially for the automotive sector
• Mechanical stress tests and endurance tests

Our laboratories:

• Vibration and shock test equipment with slip table and climatic chamber for simulating different thermal and climatic conditions
