The Solid Mechanics Laboratory is a unique facility designed for the strength testing of materials and structures in multiple length scales.
In the solid mechanics laboratory, we carry out data-driven experiments spanning length scales from micrometres to metres.
Our core expertise is the characterization of material and structural deformation mechanisms. With this fundamental knowledge, predictive engineering models can be developed, e.g., for the modelling of fatigue and fracture in large engineering applications.
The fundamental knowledge is also utilized in collaboration with our colleagues at Aalto University and in the industry to create new structural solutions and design guidelines required for a carbon-neutral future.

Load Frames (1 pcs)
A load frame is the mechanical structure (columns, crosshead, actuator) that applies force or displacement, often sold as a modular platform that may require separate controllers, sensors, and fixturing.

Universal Testing Machines (2 pcs)
A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, materials testing machine or materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength and compressive strength of materials. An earlier name for a tensile testing machine is a tensometer. The "universal" part of the name reflects that it can perform many standard tensile and compression tests on materials, components, and structures (in other words, that it is versatile).
