Components and structures for aviation or rail transportation often experience high mechanical loads - not least due to special events such as bird strikes or vandalism. Our Competence Center Protection, Impact and High Risk Testing at IABG near Paderborn focuses on testing system safety in the event of such incidents. The structural integrity of the components is tested under the highest loads in tests in accordance with common standards from both the aviation and rail industries, as well as customer-specific requirements.
Our portfolio includes:
Continuous support throughout the entire development process
Together we develop the right test setup for your application. We are also happy to realize special setups for you that are far removed from existing test standards or implement large test setups.
In order to give you a detailed insight into the component behavior during the tests, we use a wide range of measurement methods such as high-speed diagnostics, strain, acceleration or force measurement as well as image correlation methods.
Precise measurements and detailed visualizations
Our metrology methods include the use of high-speed video from multiple perspectives to provide a detailed visual representation of your tests. We use strain gages and accelerometers to provide precise measurements of force and motion.
Far-reaching insights into performance
Using laser triangulators and image correlation techniques, we can measure component displacements and deformations to evaluate the performance and durability of your products. Our force measurement and pressure measurement provide further insight into the performance of your products under different conditions.
In-depth analysis and precise test environments
For suitable materials, we can use ultrasound and eddy current techniques to enable even deeper analysis. We also have the ability to specifically adjust the flight attitude of the projectile to create a realistic and accurate test environment.
We will be happy to advise you on the planning and design of the tests and support you in improving the safety of your products.
