Test And Evaluation Services

MSC has always recognized the need for experimental evaluation of material response and proof-of-concept validation. Through a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) with the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) at Aberdeen Maryland, MSC has the laboratory facilities to conduct such testing. The types of tests completed include:

  • Testing Of A Prototypes And First Article Testing
  • Environmental Testing
  • Independent Verification And Validation
  • Reverse Engineering
  • Simulation And Modeling (To Test The Feasibility Of A Concept)
  • Quality Assurance
  • Physical Testing Of The Product Or System

MSC not only provides testing services, but also a level of insight and understanding of the behavior of composite materials not generally possessed by other test facilities. Areas of expertise include:

  • Materials Characterization - Physical / Chemical / Thermal
  • Thermomechanical Properties - Static / Dynamic / Impact / Fatigue / Fracture
  • Environmental Effects
  • ASTM/SACMA Standard and Special Test Methods
  • Statistical Database Development
