Static tests conducted by Exponent on vehicle structures have included standardized tests of door and roof systems. The TEC maintains six hydraulic power supplies that can be used in conjunction with a programmable servo-hydraulic control system utilizing position and/or load feedback. This equipment can be configured in conjunction with reaction structures to conduct virtually any static load test.

Exponent has also conducted structural tests on heavy truck cabs, seat recliner mechanisms, aircraft seats and restraints, bicycles, and aircraft fuselages. We have conducted fatigue testing of axles, compressed natural gas fuel tanks, and amusement ride components, among others.
