Structural Dynamics Laboratory

West Bethesda, MD

This facility consists of four uniaxial servo-hydraulic cyclic test machines, a small free form fatigue test fixture, and a lightweight shock machine. The four cyclic test machines have maximum ranges of 110,000; 220,000; 550,000 and 1,000,000 pounds. Each machine has hydraulic grips, allowing for fully reversed cyclic loads. Maximum specimen size is roughly 2 foot wide by 8 foot tall. Each test machine is individually computer controlled and can perform static, constant amplitude cyclic tests as well as random variable spectrum loadings.
