Impact Tests with Various Projectiles

Impact Tests

Components and structures for aviation or rail transportation often experience high mechanical loads - not least due to special events such as bird strikes or vandalism. Our Competence Center Protection, Impact and High Risk Testing at IABG near Paderborn focuses on testing system safety in the event of such incidents. The structural integrity of the components is tested under the highest loads in tests in accordance with common standards from both the aviation and rail industries, as well as customer-specific requirements.

Our Portfolio

  • Bird strike investigations

    We simulate the impact of birds on aircraft parts, such as cockpit windows or wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers, to test their strength and safety.

  • Hail impact investigations

    We test the resistance of aircraft structures to hailstones, which can occur in extreme weather conditions.

  • Tire impact tests

    We investigate the effects of tire parts that can come loose during aircraft take-off or landing on exposed structural elements of an aircraft, such as wings, fuselage or landing gear.

  • Investigation of structures in the rail industry

    We carry out impact tests on rail vehicles and their components according to standards such as UIC 651 to understand the effects of collisions and other events on the structure and safety of trains, e.g. according to UIC 651, DIN EN 15152 or GMRT 2100.

We guarantee the high quality and accuracy of our impact tests!

Accreditation according to DIN ISO 17025:2018.

Together we develop the right test setup for your application. We are also happy to realize special setups for you that are far removed from existing test standards or implement large test setups.

In order to give you a detailed insight into the component behavior during the tests, we use a wide range of measurement methods such as high-speed diagnostics, strain, acceleration or force measurement as well as image correlation methods.

  • Precise measurements and detailed visualizations

    Our metrology methods include the use of high-speed video from multiple perspectives to provide a detailed visual representation of your tests. We use strain gages and accelerometers to provide a precise representation of the deformation of the component.

  • Far-reaching insights into resistance

    Using laser triangulators and image correlation techniques, we can measure component displacements and deformations to evaluate the performance and durability of your products. Our force measurement and pressure measurement provide further insight into the resistance of your products under different conditions.

  • In-depth analysis and precise test environments

    For suitable materials, we can use ultrasound and eddy current techniques to enable even deeper analysis. We also have the ability to specifically adjust the flight attitude of the projectile to create a realistic and accurate test environment.

We will be happy to advise you on the planning and design of the tests and support you in improving the safety of your products.
