The increasing need for lightweight design, combined with improved functionality, quality and economic build, continues to drive the need for comprehensive testing within key structural systems and components in the Aerospace sector.
The complex stresses that occur during the operation of technical structures must be examined under static and dynamic operational loads to assess the impact of fatigue and also to determine accurate in-service life predictions. Element has multiple hydraulic cylinders and high capacity measuring systems that can handle more than 250 channels.
These systems are available to test complex assemblies and components under multiple multiaxial stress scenarios. We can also test these components at temperatures from -70°C up to 415°C as well as under extreme loads or special climactic conditions (e.g. moisture and temperature).
With a large suite of structures testing inventory comprising of more than 60 actuators and load cells covering a range of 1kN to 1MN, two configurable multichannel control as well as appropriate expandable data acquisition systems, Element has demonstrated the capability and the know-how to perform most complex and highly sophisticated test campaigns over the last decades. The following examples provide a good insight into this special type of testing.
