In materials testing, accuracy in strain measurement is essential. Compared to traditional contact systems, the optical extensometer -especially in its video extensometer version- is consolidating its position as an advanced, non-contact and highly accurate solution. This technology is transforming the way in which universities, laboratories and R&D centers obtain information about the [...]
Testing machine upgrade Do you have a testing machine that is starting to give problems or has fallen behind technologically? Don't worry, you don't need to replace it with a new one. With a good upgrade, you can extend its service life, improve its accuracy and adapt it to new standards without the need for large investments. Why should you [...]
When we design a component for the real world, we know that loading conditions are rarely simple. A car frame, a hip prosthesis or the structure of a landing gear undergo combined tensile, compressive and torsional loads that are applied simultaneously and dynamically. To correctly predict [...]
In engineering, performing fatigue tests correctly is only half the job. The other - crucial - half is knowing how to interpret the results. Understanding how a material behaves under cyclic loading, how long it can resist without failure and what patterns a fatigue failure leaves behind is essential for the safe and effective design of components.
In modern engineering, the ability of a material to withstand impact is a critical factor in the design of structures, vehicles, protective equipment and industrial components. Dynamic impact tests make it possible to evaluate how materials and structures respond to rapid and energetic loads, simulating extreme conditions that could jeopardize the integrity of the structure, and to [...]
In sectors such as automotive, aerospace and structural engineering, ensuring the safety and durability of materials is a priority. Dynamic testing makes it possible to evaluate the behavior of materials and components under cyclic loads, vibrations and impacts, replicating real conditions of use and anticipating possible failures. Servosis, as a benchmark in [...]
