DYNAMIC TESTS
Technical safety through dynamic testing
In many cases, dynamic tests are required to assess the material and component behavior in the real operation of products or assemblies. For this reason, potential fatigue must represent real operation as realistically as possible.
Qualification for mechanical testing
Materials are tested at Suisse TP in accordance with the relevant standards in an accredited area using dynamic tests. This is done either at room temperature or even at high or low temperatures. Depending on the material and area of application, these types of tests are carried out in the High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) or Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) area. Click here to continue to material testing.
Parts or part components are often tested in dynamic tests in the low-frequency range (LCF) using pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. In addition, resonance testing machines are sometimes used to test in the high-frequency range (HCF). Of course, this is only possible if the component geometry and the materials used allow it.

On the one hand, carrying out the dynamic tests, which have to be set up very carefully, requires structural mechanical expertise for the correct application of force and torque during component testing. On the other hand, the highly qualified and specially trained employees also have experience in setting up suitable measuring chains for checking and recording the stresses
The assessment of occurring fatigue or damage to test specimens or components by Suisse TP’s experienced failure analysts is an important contribution to technical safety in product and process development.
Example applications for dynamic testing
Dynamic tests for technical safety
For fatigue tests to determine Wöhler curves, e.g. aluminum alloys in the HCF range, high-alloy steels in the LCF range
For component tests to determine service life behavior, e.g. chassis parts
