Tests and Capabilities:
Â
- Component Testing
- Bi axial Fatigue
- Thermo-mechanical Fatigue
- H2S Corrosion Fatigue
- Crack Propagation da/DN
- Composite fatigue
- Resonant Fatigue
- Fracture Mechanics
- JR Curves
Specimen Testing:
- Evaluation of fracture toughness testing using a wide range of differing geometries (CT, MT, SENT, SENB)
- Testing of standard samples in fatigue at high or low temperature
- Low temperature static testing available (-196°C, -163°C etc)
- In practice it is difficult to envisage an engineering structure that does not have defects which could initiate a fatigue crack.
- A wide range of crack propagation tests can be conducted on most geometries
- From Composites to Carbon steels, Aluminium Alloys to Polymers
Component Testing
- Fatigue, proof, ultimate, creep, high temperature, low temperature, tensile, compression, torsion
- Exova will offer a versatile service to ensure that the testing frame or machine is adapted to fit your component
- There are circumstances where fatigue tests are required to be carried out on, components or structures to specific wave forms or load spectrums including: simulated road load data or combined cyclic fatigue
- Exova have the ability to design, build and execute multi-axial fatigue tests on small structures or self reacting structures using actuators with capacities up to 2000kN
