What is DynaMat

DynaMat: Centre and Laboratory for studies on impulsive events on materials & structures

DynaMat is a centre specialized in impact on materials and structures both at the numerical simulation and experimental level.

DynaMat-Lab is an advanced laboratory for mechanical characterization of materials in fast dynamics able to measure accurately the stress-strain curves of materials in tension, compression and shear in a large range of strain-rates (from 10-6 a 105 s-1).

DynaMat acts as a point of reference for the industry and research centres of the region as key-player support in the design, development and optimization of production processes.

The laboratory and the centre start their full activity aiming to:

  • develop the research on materials and on structures subject to dynamic-impulsive loads;
  • favour the technological transfer;
  • spread an integrated approach facing design-testing to improve safety and quality of products.
