Screw driven testing machine ZWICK Z50
Contact: prof. Ing. Ivo Dlouhý, CSc.
A universal testing system predominately used for quasi-static tensile, compressive, bending experiments of polymers, metals, ceramic and their composites at wide range of temperatures.
Universal test system INSTRON 8862 with electromechanical actuator
Contact: prof. Ing. Ivo Dlouhý, CSc.
A universal testing system predominately used for bending and compressive experiments of ceramic and ceramic composites at room temperatures.
High temperature impulse excitation technique IMCE HT1600
Contact: prof. Ing. Ivo Dlouhý, CSc.
The system allows obtaining temperature dependence of the elastic properties of the material by non-destructive impulse excitation method.
High temperature test system
Contact: prof. Ing. Ivo Dlouhý, CSc.
A test system is designed for testing at temperatures up to 1600°C. Tests of metals, ceramics and composites can be performed in vacuum or under a protective argon atmosphere.
