FATIGUE

Laboratory of Structural Mechanics

The large force field with ZD 400 PU strength machine and Instron 8503 series dynamic strength machine is a unique testing infrastructure in Poland, allowing for testing of large-size objects or entire structural nodes on a real scale. The test stand consists of four servohydraulic actuators controlled by an Instron Structural Testing Labtronic 8800 series controller, and allows static and dynamic testing with actuators load capcity of ±100 kN, ±250 kN, ±400 kN and ±1000 kN.
