Laboratory Dynamics of Mechanical Structures (LDMS)

The laboratory is equipped to conduct vibration testing (combined with temperature testing) in order to simulate the environmental conditions that act on a product or on structures. LDMS is accredited by the Belgian Government. The main piece of the laboratory is an electrodynamic shaker with a maximum capacity of 18 kN, which is able to work vertically as well as horizontally (by means of a slip table). To combine the vibration tests with temperature tests, a climatic chamber of approximately 1 m³ can be fitted to the shaker.
