SUPSI Dynamat laboratory - High-speed tensile, compression, shear and bending deformation tests on materials.
SUPSI Image Focus
The SUPSI DynaMat Laboratory is able to perform tensile, compression, shear and bending tests for various materials at high strain rates and in a wide range of temperatures (-180÷1000°C).
For example:
It also has specific skills in calibrating the constitutive laws of materials and is able to perform dynamic event simulations (LS-Dyna).
- Thin steel sheets used by the automotive industry.
- Steel used for nuclear reactor structures.
- Smooth, fibre-reinforced concrete.
- Aluminium and magnesium alloys used in aerospace.
- Fibre-reinforced composite polymers.
