Stands
| Monitoring of human-induced vibrations The stand is designed for investigation of the relations between measured vibrational signals and human walking patterns. Optical fiber sensors were applied. Their sensitivity and great resistance to environmental conditions make them appropriate for outdoor systems. The idea behind this prototype stand is the planned development of a monitoring system for crowd movements, which seems to be an important problem in particular public objects like stadiums or concert halls.

| Drop-test stand The stand was designed to conduct a wide spectrum of impact tests on materials and parts of mechanisms. The impact is performed with a free falling drop-weight with adjustable weight and height of drop. The tests can be performed both when the tested specimen is fixed to the drop-weight or is fixed to the foundation in the impacting area. More... |  |
| Tension/compression test-stand based on MTS hydraulic actuator 5kN The stand was designed to conduct a variety of tests on materials or components of devices under harmonic/monotonic tension/compression loadings. The specimens are to be fixed in the horizontal position between the grips. The excitation is provided via 5 kN hydraulic actuator provided by MTS Systems. More... |  |
| 3-point bending test-stand based on MTS hydraulic actuator 5kN The stand was designed to conduct 3-point bending tests on material specimens. The excitation is provided via 5 kN hydraulic actuator by MTS Systems. More... |  |
| Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) demonstrative stand The stand was designed to conduct demonstrative tests of the Structural Health Monitoring methods developed in the Smart-Tech Centre. The trials are conducted on a 3D truss structure characterized in details below. The experiments contain identification of the following modifications: material of the elements (aluminum elements, additional mass, intentionally initiated defects) The truss structure is based on the commercially available M12 system More... |  |
| Piezovalve-test stand The stand is designed for investigations of pneumatic piezovalves. It allows mass flow rates, volumetric flow rates and outlet temperature to be measured. During the tests various inlet pressures can be applied. The stand is equipped with two nitrogen containers. More... |  |
