Testing and characterization

Fatigue analysis

Performance of fatigue studies by axial testing of metallic, polymeric, ceramic and glass materials, as well as semi-finished and final components.

Fracture analysis

Structural integrity testing and analysis by 3-point bending, axial load and indentation. Crack growth studies and determination of fracture toughness.

Vibration studies

Sine, random and impact profile vibration tests. Operation tests under vibration and mechanical durability tests of components subjected to vibration.

Characterization of viscoelastic materials

Study and characterization of elastomers, biomaterials and other viscoelastic composites under static and dynamic loads through high precision and sensitivity instrumentation.

Food sector testing

Instrumented analysis for the determination of texture, hardness, strength and other food properties. Penetration, shear and bending tests and specific studies.

Customized studies

Using our experience in the field of applied research and development of experimental systems, we develop test systems and specific studies.

Programmed dynamic load tests

Studies and tests of cyclical loads reproducing operating conditions. Development of specific tools for dynamic studies.

Creep testing

Characterization of relaxation, creep and recovery behavior. Creep and adhesion tests under axial load and bending in polymeric materials and components.

High-temperature testing

Study of mechanical behavior and durability of components as a function of temperature. Determination and analysis of isothermal fatigue (LCF) and thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF).
