Materials development
Development of rubber compounds with e.g. improved ageing resistance,
higher temperature performance, etc.
Materials evaluation
Elastic, visco-elastic, crack growth (fatigue) behaviour
Ageing and chemical resistance
High/low temperature limits
Component testing
Static and dynamic characterisation of vibration control components,
e.g. engine mounts, rubber bushes
Fatigue testing of vibration control components in single or
multi-axis
Ageing and chemical resistance of vibration control components
Design analysis + FEA
Design of vibration control components
Behaviour prediction of vibration control components
Prediction of dynamic stiffness and damping
Prediction of durability/fatigue life
Long term service assessment
