Tailor-made tests

This involves subjecting parts to several simultaneous and co-ordinated stresses. An attempt is made to age the parts in an accelerated fashion by re-creating their life cycles.

That way, their possible failure modes can be highlighted. Design of tailor-made tests, performance of tests in accordance with car manufacturer specifications or existing or new standards.

Cycled pressure + fuel + travel
+ temperature

Examples :

• Fuel hoses: fuel circulation + cycled pressure + travel + temperature
• Car dome lights: Car dome lights: cycled electrical power supply + control button actuation + temperature

Usual stresses

• Climatic constraints: hot/cold/humidity
• Pressure/negative pressure: cycled or static
• Fluid circulation: water, glycol, fuel, etc.
• Spray: rain, aggressive fluids, dust, etc.
• Electrical power supplies.
