Extensive Experience in a Wide Variety of Fields Evaluating Strain Rate Dependence

From dynamic testing in automotive, aircraft, train, shipbuilding, healthcare, and construction fields to fatigue testing of materials, Shimadzu has In order to accommodate increasingly sophisticated designs, computers are now being used in
developed various dynamic testing machines for all sorts of fields. Shimadzu's extensive dynamic testing experience is available for consulting design simulation technologies. In particular, to ensure safety with respect to impacts or
with customers. determine the behavior during impact fracture, material property parameters are measured at
speeds experienced during actual operation or the simulated deformation rate. Using these
Dynamic Evaluation of Automotive, Aircraft, Rail, parameters in calculations can contribute significantly to calculation results.
Ship, and Various Other Transportation Equipment High-Speed Impact Testing at Speeds Up to 20 m/sec
Increasing the reliability of transportation equipment used to carry people and This high-speed impact testing system integrates several of Shimadzu's advanced technologies, such as
freight involves a variety of dynamic testing requirements, from various design actuators engineered for high-speed testing and shock-absorbing mechanisms that minimize the effects from
verification work to evaluation of endurance. Shimadzu dynamic testing impact testing, to realize a maximum impact speed of 20 m/sec (72 km/h).
systems can be configured to meet unique customer requirements by
combining various standard models or utilizing customized actuators and
loading frames based on Shimadzu's extensive track record and experience.

Load Testing for Large-Scale Structural Members
The ground strength, bearing capacity of pilings, stability of basic structural
members, etc. are evaluated by applying static and dynamic loads on large
structural members using the Shimadzu Servopulser jack system to determine
the relationship between test force and displacement. For load testing, actuator
endurance and stable control technology are essential.
Shimadzu offers support for a wide range of evaluations, such as evaluating structural
members made with new materials, evaluating the endurance of large-scale
structural members, and inspecting old building structural members.
