Thermal analysis in the field of Automotive, Aviation and Spacecraft

The demands placed on materials in vehicle construction and aerospace are exceptionally stringent. The functionality, longevity, and safety of designs are heavily reliant on the choice and suitability of materials. This extends to the well-being of vehicle occupants, encompassing drivers, pilots, astronauts, and passengers.

Crucial to the selection of materials in these often highly critical areas are thermophysical properties. These properties can be assessed through deformation analysis, material testing, or crack testing, making thermal management a vital consideration in automotive applications and other industries.

Modern thermoanalytical measurement techniques from LINSEIS offer valuable insights and answers to various questions:

  1. What temperature triggers distortion in a vehicle bumper?
  2. Which material exhibits the least vulnerability to impact-induced deformation?
  3. Why is a particular molded part prone to brittle fractures?
  4. Can the curing cycle of carbon fiber-reinforced resin be expedited?
  5. Is the turbine material adequately thermally conductive for efficient cooling?
  6. Which materials can withstand the high thermal demands of the aerospace industry?

Thermophysical measurement techniques serve as indispensable tools for research and development in applications spanning from cars, trucks, airplanes, satellites, to manned spaceflight. These tests are essential for part testing, quality control, process optimization, and failure analysis.

Vehicles are exposed to a range of environmental factors during their use, which can affect their appearance, function, and lifespan. The climatic tests offered by our instruments play a pivotal role in discovery and product enhancement, including assessing the thermal diffusivity of rubber.

LINSEIS also offers a comprehensive range of suitable measuring devices for determining thermophysical data, providing the necessary tools for research and development in these critical industries. Our equipment in this category includes:
