Mechanical and environmental testing
Mechanical test of structures and components
Get large structures and components tested under realistic loads through full-scale mechanical testing.
The facility supports manufacturers of large structures and components that must perform under complex loading conditions. The need arises when structures are subjected to combined static, dynamic or fatigue loads.
Testing on mechanical test rig
Testing of large components and structures is carried out on a mechanical test rig whose size and capacity enable testing under realistic load conditions. Tests are part of a larger suite of mechanical and environmental testing services. They are performed in collaboration with the customer, either as customer-led testing with subsequent documentation or as a full-service solution including reporting.
Target group and benefits
Support engineering and development teams with full scale test of structural performance
The facility supports engineering and development teams in testing large components and structures, where system performance and structural response must be evaluated under complex loading conditions. Testing reflects static and dynamic loads as well as simulated influences from wind and waves. The results provide measured data for evaluation and documentation of structural response. We also offer climatic testing of components and structures.
Discuss your large structure testing needs
Contact our specialists to plan mechanical testing of large components and structures based on your test requirements, operating conditions and documentation needs.
Facility setup
Configure test setups and data collection to match load conditions, component size and documentation needs
Flexible load configurations
Test setups can be configured to apply static, dynamic and multi axial loads using multiple cylinders for representative load cases.
Simulation of operating conditions
Loads from waves, wind and other operational conditions can be applied to reflect real use scenarios.
Standard and customised data recording
Standard or customised data recording is carried out using gauges and sensors to capture structural responses for evaluation and documentation.
Instrumentation support
Specialists support selection and installation of instrumentation including strain gauges, displacement sensors, load cells and temperature sensors across all test setups.
