MTU provides technical expertise and platform to conduct research on mechanical, material processing, inspection & analysis of a wide range of materials derived either from nature or engineered. We can provide the support and equipment necessary for successful evaluation of static and fatigue testing of micron-Newton loads to tons load, offering the precision necessary for low-force testing 0.0005N to high-force testing 100kN.
Mechanical Testing
Mechanical testing, also known as destructive testing, reveals the properties of a material under dynamic or static force. Designed to ensure that materials are suitable for their intended applications, mechanical testing includes methods such as tensile strength, compression strength, fracture toughness and fatigue. MTU provides the services of Mechanical testing for teaching and learning activities, academic research and industrial collaboration projects. MTU is located in Room 4230 (Lift 24).

Inspection and Failure Analysis
Inspection and failure analysis plays a key role determining the root cause of parts/assembly failure and working out the means for correcting and preventing current/future problems. Using advanced equipment’s, particle characterization techniques, our testing professionals render rapid, reliable, technical services for your research. Failure Analysis services including Particle characterization (Size and Surface pores and charge measurement) dopant analysis; Image processing and measuring system; C-SAM system inspection;
