The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) conducts high-speed impact testing to evaluate how vehicles respond to high-impact collisions. Car accidents and collisions can be harmful or deadly even at low speeds. However, high-speed collisions are exponentially more likely to result in serious injury or death. Our high-speed impact tests help auto manufacturers evaluate how their vehicles perform in high-speed collisions that mirror real-world situations.
What is a High-Speed Impact Test?
A high-speed impact is the process of conducting a controlled experiment where engineers subject vehicles to high-speed impacts that challenge their structural integrity. The information gathered during a high-speed impact test enables manufacturers to address weaknesses within a vehicle’s design. The test results allow manufacturers to make changes that can improve the reliability and safety of their motor vehicles.
Our High-Speed Impact Testing Services
Our engineers use their decades of collective experience and our state-of-the-art facilities to conduct comprehensive tests analyzing how vehicles respond to external forces. We recognize the importance of dynamic impact testing, so our experts work closely with clients ensuring that their specific demands are met so they can rest assured knowing that their vehicles have undergone the extensive testing needed to confirm their safety. Upon completion of our services, we provide our clients with a detailed report detailing our findings so that they can take the necessary steps to improve their product’s design. In addition to our high-speed impact tests, we offer the following:
- Full-scale dynamic crash tests
- Horizontal accelerometer tests
- Vertical drop tests
Why are High-Speed Impact Tests Important?
High-speed impact tests offer essential insight into a material’s behavior when subjected to extreme conditions that may be present in their intended environment or during their intended application. High-speed impact tests help do the following:
- Verify product design and safety
- Ensure safety features work as expected
- Identify and resolve manufacturing errors
- Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements
