One of the main tests INNOPROOF - a German start-up company - specializes in is breast implant testing: this test can be demanding on dynamic testing machines because it is a load-control requirement, while operating on a very compliant specimen - this requires good controller performance and a large actuator stroke. Find out how the ElectroPuls solved this challenge.

Mechanical testing tissue microstructure is becoming an increasingly active area of research, especially in oncology. It has been shown that changes in this microenvironment are key in cancerous growth, namely an increased tissue stiffness. External mechanical forces can directly influence cell signaling regulating and influencing growth. Investigating the mechanical properties of the microenvironment is, therefore, key to creating a biomechanical model of tumor growth.
Learn how the ElectroPuls helped to achieve this.

Long-term mechanical property of materials under variable frequency and amplitude will be a trend in the future. For traditional servo-hydraulic machine, its frequency range is too small, the maintenance costs is higher and also too much noisy when running. And also if we want to do the fatigue test of ultra thin steels, traditional electromagnetic resonance high-frequency fatigue testing machines are found difficult to dither. Both challenges urge us to find new solutions. Find out more.

One of the challenges the bioMMeda lab - focused on biofluid, tissue, and solid mechanics for medical applications - faces is the need for flexible testing equipment that enables a multitude of tests in order to validate model simulations. The testing lab requires testing specimens in unique positions and orientations, in addition to testing at non-ambient temperatures and in fluid baths to simulate conditions in the human body. Learn how they overcame these challenges.
