Laboratory for Structural Integrity of Joints and Materials Under Dynamic Loads
DJ-Lab@PoliTO is a laboratory supporting the industrial fabric for the development of innovative joints and materials for structural applications in various fields of mechanics.
The activities conducted mainly concern:
- Design and prototype realisation of joints
- Non-destructive testing of materials and joints
- Evaluation of structural response in the presence of static, fatigue and dynamic stresses, including temperature.
Main services
- Technical consultancy and training courses on joint optimisation and design.
- Monitoring and evaluation by non-destructive testing of defects and fracture surfaces.
- Characterisation of mechanical properties under temperature and controlled atmosphere, static, dynamic and fatigue conditions.
- Prototype production of adhesive, single- and multi-material, fusion and solid-state welds.
Equipment
- CT-Scan for internal defect analysis
- FE-SEM with EDX and EBSD probes
- Thermographic system for welding process monitoring and joint inspection
- Systems for static and high-strain-rate characterisation tests (SHPB), also in temperature
- LCF, HCF and VHCF uni/multi-axial fatigue test systems
- Friction stir welding station
- Robotic plant for laser and arc welding
- Joint ovens
Access
Service provided by in-house staff (without intervention of external users).
External personnel may be allowed access to attend testing sessions.
