Weiss Technik and MTS Systems explore the challenges and benefits of integrated testing for materials, ground vehicles, and aerospace structures.
Hosted by weisstechnik Academy, this three-webinar series shows how environmental and mechanical testing combine to simulate real-world conditions for mission-critical defence platforms. Weiss Technik and MTS Systems experts examine the application of extreme temperatures, corrosion, and static and dynamic loading to high-strain materials, heavy ground vehicles, and light aerospace structures to prove performance, durability, safety, and standards compliance. Beneficial for engineers, platform developers and material scientists, live sessions will cover best practices, test methods, and equipment for the three industry sectors.
