Research and teaching

Test fixtures for E-modulus measurements on concrete sample cylinders, concrete sample cubes, concrete drill cores, concrete beams, cement prisms, mortar prisms, screed prisms.

Dynamic testing systems of various designs are used to test material fatigue / fatigue strength on materials and components. The measurement data is used to determine crack initiation and service life curves.

For the load, displacement or deformation control in the closed loop of the servo-hydraulic on: Pressure cells Ø 40 / 65 mm x height 47 / 100 mm

Various materials, parts and components are subjected to loads with several test axes in order to better simulate tests and conditions. For the verification of the test specifications, multi-axis testing machines and special test benches are possible, which are adapted to the later use.

Determination of material and deformation behavior under mechanical and thermal stress. Determination of the fundamentals for defining viscoplastic material models. The time-dependent deformation behaviour under constant thermal and mechanical load can only be determined by suitable long-term tests.

Torsion testing machines or test benches combined with torsion drives are used for angle of rotation measurements over a defined torque range on materials and components in many branches of industry.

Creep rupture testing records the behaviour of materials under constant test loads and high temperatures over longer periods
