Biomechanics

The Biomaterial Research Cluster has equipment and competence in biomechanical testing of materials as well as biologic structure.

A servo-hydraulic testing biaxial machine (MTS) and an electrical uniaxial testing machine (Instron, 10 kN) are available.

The picture shows dynamic (cyclic) testing of a spine fixation system. The procedure is based on an ISO standard.
