In our lab, we use a combination of theory, numerical methods, 3D printing and experiments.
Numerical tools:
- You can visit our GitLab repository where our custom codes are uploaded. We code mostly in Python, sometimes in Matlab
- In addition, we use the commercial softwares Abaqus and Comsol for finite element simulations
Our mechanical testing equipment:
- Instron 5943 (single column, 1kN) with a 500N and a 5N load cells
- Instron Electro pulse 3000TT (biaxial fatigue machine), with a 3000N/25Nm biaxial load cell
- Instron 5985 (double column, 300kN) with a 300kN load cell, compression platens, 100kN and 30kN tension grips and a temperature chamber
- Shaker Tira (1kN)
Our Cameras
- Phantom VEO 640, 4MPx @ 1400fps
- 2 Basler 10MPx @ 14 fps (USB 3)
- 2 Basler 4MPx @ 90 fps (USB 3)
- 1 Basler 0.25MPx @750fps (USB 3)
Our 3D printers
- Metal printer Mlab 100R
- Polyjet printer Connex Objet 500
- SLA printers Formlabs 2 and Formlabs 3
- Direct Ink printers Bioplotter Starters series and Hyrel engine SR
