Tests and Measurements Unit

The Tests and Measurements Unit studies the mechanical, fracture and fatigue behavior of metallic and composite marine structures, through destructive and non-destructive testing.

The Tests and Measurements Unit deals with:

Non Destructive Testing
Mechanical Testing
Electronic Equipment Support

Non Destructive Testing
