Diverse metal materials, organic materials, inorganic materials,
and composite materials (FRP, MMC, CMC) are used in aircraft,
satellites, spacecraft, rockets, and space robots. Such materials
have been developed to provide the required properties of
lightness, strength, durability, heat resistance, and machinability.

To ensure the safety of designed and manufactured aircraft,
mechanical properties are measured and evaluated in terms of
their structure, strength, and material performance. Evaluations
are performed according to the various environments to which
aircraft and space transfer vehicles are directly subjected.
Examples of such evaluations include static testing to evaluate the
strength and rigidity of aircraft materials and structures, dynamic
testing to determine the strength with respect to fatigue and
vibrations, and impact testing to evaluate the impact strength
and fracture properties.

Shimadzu is applying it's technical expertise cultivated through
both physical testing in materials development and full-scale
testing in quality control in order to develop materials for
aerospace applications. Utilize Shimadzu's extensive knowledge
of materials testing and evaluation for your application.

Ultra-High-Temperature Testing in an Oxidizing Atmosphere
with a High-Frequency Induction Heating Furnace
When a space transfer vehicle re-enters the atmosphere, the temperature
exceeds one thousand several handred degrees. The development of
materials that can withstand higher temperatures would permit the
design of more efficient space transfer vehicles.
