Mechanical testing group
The mechanical testing working group promotes knowledge exchange about simulation of the mechanical environment. The influence of mechanical loads on a component, sub-assembly or composite system is investigated by exposing the product to a mechanical load (vibration, shock, impact) under controlled conditions. The working group exchanges knowledge about test methods, results and protocols and initiates the development of mechanical test technology.
