The assessment of the suitability of innovative materials for applications such as construction, mechanical engineering or photovoltaics requires fundamental experimental investigations to determine material characteristics and strengths. In the adhesive and plastic technology, numerous mechanical investigations are carried out on pure material test pieces, joined parts, laminates and glued joints. The test scenarios should be as accurate as possible to represent the real stresses. Therefore tests are carried out at different temperature levels and test speeds as well as under dynamic and static long-term loads.
