Laboratory performs:

 

- cyclic and static tests of materials

- test of parts of transport devices

- tests of suspension and damping

- tests of building materials

- controlling of the tests

- non-destructive measurements of strains

- measurements of accelarations,

  velocities and displacements

- data processing

- high and low cycle fatige analysis

- metalographic and fractographic analysis

- simulation of operatinal loadings

Laboratories of the Institute have unique electro-hydraulic pulsators from Inova Edyz6

and MTS Bionix servo-hydraulic test system. These systems allow simulate the real

operation of the components in the laboratory environment. Together with multi-channel

measuring devices, it is possible to obtain valuable results to solve various operational

problems such as fatigue fractures.

The workplace has the most up-to-date thermography technologies which are  used in pedagogic processes as well as industrial

applications and research. Students will learn the basics of thermo -dynamics during work on the final diploma projects. After

graduating the study, the students are able to  apply the acquire knowledge skills immediately without additional and costly training.
