In our Dynamic Testing Lab, we specialize in analyzing the dynamic behavior of sports equipment under controlled conditions. Using advanced, non-destructive testing protocols, we measure key parameters such as stiffness, rebound, damping, and torsional behavior. Our patented technology uncovers the complexities of nonlinear systems, providing valuable data to validate designs, optimize constructions, and enhance performance. By capturing dynamic data under progressive loads, we empower you to make informed decisions and deliver reliable validation for your products.

• Accelerate Innovation: Validate new technologies or prototypes quickly with reliable, actionable data.

• Build Customer Trust: Communicate scientifically validated performance improvements to your audience.

• Achieve Sustainability Goals: Assess the performance of lighter, more sustainable materials without compromising reliability.

• Optimize Design Cycles: Shorten R&D timelines by integrating empirical data into your design processes.

• Support Advanced Simulations: Improve FEM simulations with dynamic data tailored to non-linear systems.

• Ensure Dynamic Reliability: Validate that equipment maintains high standards in critical properties like damping and rebound over time and use.

The interaction between mechanical parts, bonded components, or mixed materials can significantly alter the dynamic behavior of a system. At Sport Dynamics Lab, we measure and validate the performance of complete assemblies —such as bindings and ski boots, bicycle wheels and grips, or adhesive-bonded structures— to ensure optimized performance and reliability. By analyzing stiffness, damping, and rebound, we help you understand how interchangeable parts or bonding methods impact the final product.

Our expertise allows you to:

• Maximize performance by identifying how different equipment parts interacts to help athletes achieve optimal results.

• Understand real-world dynamics by gaining insights into how the product performs under specific conditions.

• Tailor equipment during assembly or installation to enhance user experience and ensure system reliability.

• Optimize Design and Thickness: Understand how design decisions, such as shape, dimensions, and profile thickness, impact key dynamic properties like elasticity, damping, and stiffness under varying conditions.

• Measure Behavior Under Torsion: Assess the dynamic performance of systems subjected to combined torsional and axial forces. This enables validation of performance under simultaneous torsion and dynamic deformation.

• Compare Composite Material Configurations: Analyze how different material combinations and layups affect dynamic performance, providing empirical data to validate or improve compositions in industries like automotive, marine, energy, or sports.

• Characterize Nonlinearity in Systems: Identify nonlinear behaviors in mechanical systems and composites, such as wheels, adhesive structures, or elastic materials, by evaluating how external parameters (e.g., pressure, deformation, or temperature) influence their response.

• Benchmark Products and Prototypes: Conduct dynamic comparisons between different technologies or solutions to identify the most effective in terms of damping, elasticity, or dynamic reliability, whether in industrial or sports components.

• Validate Installation Impact: Analyze how the assembly of mechanical components, adhesives, or hybrid systems influences the dynamic behavior of complete structures. (Example: Evaluate mounting configurations in sports equipment, structural adhesives, assembly setups, or industrial applications.)

We understand that every material and product behaves differently under dynamic conditions. Whether you need non-destructive testing, advanced material characterization, or performance validation, we provide the expertise and data to optimize your designs with confidence. Let’s uncover the unseen, refine your technology, and push performance to the next level.
