Dynamic testing is a focal aspect of our mechanical testing capabilities within the section. The equipment on site serves for two primary purposes: Fatigue and Fracture Toughness testing.
Fatigue test
Fatigue testing is a method for determining the behavior of materials under fluctuating loads. It consist of applying a cyclic loading to the test specimen to understand how it will perform under similar conditions in actual use. The load application can either be a repeated application of a fixed load (or deformation), or a simulation of in-service loads.

Dynamic Testing Machine Microtest EFH 100 FR (100 kN)
Servohydraulic testing machine. This flexible device is able to perform cyclic testing under tensile and compressive loads up to 100 kN. Fully programmable modular testing software for quasi – static and cyclic material testing.
| Displacement resolution (*) | ± 20 µm |
| Force resolution | Class 0.5 / 1 (ISO 7500-1). |
| Load cell | 100 kN |
| Maximum frequency | 50 Hz |
This figure is given based on the experience in actual testing, but they highly depend on the combination of load and frequency chosen.
