STRUCTURAL TESTS

Capabilities:

  • Static testing,
  • Fatigue testing (including high Tensile/Torsional loads),
  • Vibrational testing.

Available techniques:

  • High temperature static and quasi-static shaft testing (tension and torsion simultaneously),
  • Aircraft engine compressor blade resonance testing,
  • Wear testing of low-rev fan blades and discs (windmilling),
  • Coating thermal shock resistance evaluation,
  • Low-cycle fatigue testing of fuel lines.
