Force testing is a way of determining how a component will react when it is subjected to tensile or compressive loads - either during its normal operation or when being pulled/pushed until it deliberately fails or breaks.
These forces can be classified as tension, compression, flexure, shear and fracture. When delivered suddenly at ultra-high speed this is known broadly as 'dynamic' loading. It is typically used for cyclic-fatigue or creep testing to determine the life-cycle of materials or components. However, it is much more common to measure the mechanical strength of a component by applying a load at a constant rate or varying it slowly—this is known as 'static' or 'monotonic' loading.
At Novatiq, we applied our expertise in designing servo-controlled testing system to develop various types of high force high tonnage testing solution for various high force testing simulation. Most of our tests are conducted for verification of critical designs which can directly or indirectly impact the safety and well being of people.
While many traditional high force tests are performed in static or low frequency manner, we are also capable to meet dynamic requirement based on customer's needs. For example, we have dynamic system capable of simulating high speed train passing through a section of a railway for studies on railway subgrade, track structure, subgrade settlement and its prevention methods.
