Large components and full size structures are tested on the high capacity mechanical test bench at Lindø Component and Structure Testing A/S. Testing includes static and dynamic loads, multi axial loading, fatigue testing and simulated loading from waves, wind and other operational conditions in flexible setups. It's possible to get mechanical testing of large components and climatic testing at the same place.
Mechanical and environmental testing
Mechanical test of large components
Get verification of large components under realistic loads with full scale mechanical testing and documented results.
Our mechanical testing for large components supports organisations developing structures exposed to complex operational loads such as wind, waves or cyclic stress. The need typically arises when analytical models or small-scale tests are insufficient to demonstrate real-world behaviour, or when stakeholders require documented evidence of durability and performance.
Meet expectations through verified data
Without reliable validation, projects risk design uncertainty, delayed approvals or unexpected failures during operation. This service is part of a suite of environmental testing services. It enables full-scale or near full-scale testing under controlled yet realistic conditions, allowing structural responses and performance characteristics to be observed and documented.
Challenges
When large components cannot be tested under realistic conditions, uncertainty about structural response.
Design uncertainty delays evaluation decisions
Without testing under representative load conditions, structural behaviour under combined loads remains unclear, reducing confidence in design evaluation and delaying technical decisions.
Missing response data limits documentation
When measured structural responses are incomplete or unavailable, it becomes difficult to document performance under load and meet defined documentation requirements.
System interactions remain unverified
Testing of individual components does not capture interactions in full systems, leaving critical behaviour and load paths insufficiently understood.
Durability under realistic loads remains unclear
Without fatigue and extreme load testing, long-term structural behaviour cannot be sufficiently assessed, increasing uncertainty in condition evaluation.
Benefits
Enable reliable evaluation and documentation through measured structural responses under realistic load conditions
Measured data supports structural evaluation
Provides structured measurement data on structural response under defined loading conditions, enabling consistent evaluation of behaviour and performance across test cases.
Full-scale verification under operating conditions
Delivers documented evidence of how components and structures respond under representative loading, supporting evaluation of load capacity and performance in relation to actual operating conditions.
