The DynaMat Laboratory consist in 4 Modified Hopkinson Bars apparatus of 15 m in length for high strain-rate tests (1÷10⁵ s^-1) for:

• Metals (diameter 10 and 12 mm).
• Polymers (diameter 20 mm.
• Concretes and rocks (diameter 60 mm).

A new 3D Modified Hopinkson Bar apparatus of 4 MN capacity is under constructions. At the moment only 1D tests in compression can be performed.

Other facilities:

• 2 Hydro-Pneumatic Machine (1÷50 s^-1).
• 2 universal machine for quasi-static tests.
• System of transient recorder (50 Msample/s).
• Contactless displacement recorder syste.
• Database of the materials behaviour in high strain-rate.
• Software for dynamic and impact structural assessment.
• High speed camera for fast recordings.
