In the RMS Foundation the following methods of dynamic testing of samples, parts and components are your disposal.
Dynamic tests
Serves to determine the fatigue resistance (stress-number curves) of metallic samples and polymers, components, and implants using uniaxial and multiaxial dynamic tests).
Devices: 3 «Schenck S56» uniaxial hydraulic rams; 2 «Instron Labtronic 8800» uniaxial hydraulic rams; and 1 MTS 858 Mini Bionix multiaxial servo-hydraulic testing device

Rotating bending fatigue test
The rotating bending fatigue test serves to determine the fatigue strength under reversed bending stresses of metallic samples allowing for specific surface structures, and to investigate the adhering strength of coatings on metallic and synthetic samples.
Device: BIG1 Rotating bending testing device (self-made, corresponds to DIN 51228)
