Leveraging Decades of Engineering Expertise to Solve Complex A&D Challenges

Full-scale Testing

Ensuring reliability through comprehensive testing services.

Our comprehensive testing services ensure aerospace and defense equipment performs as expected. We verify high-profile components through tests involving tension, compression, bending, torque, fatigue, impact, temperature, pressure, flow, and vibration.

Battery Testing

Battery safety, performance, and reliability standards are key.

We specialize in battery safety and performance testing, offering certification, R&D insights, and failure investigations. Our services include thermal runaway testing, hazard assessments, cycle life studies, performance testing, and fire suppression assessments.

Materials Engineering

Material durability and performance are critical in extreme environments.

Our materials engineering services include tensile, creep, and fatigue life analysis, ensuring components are fit for extreme environments. As leaders in materials testing, we offer expertise in corrosion resistance, durability, and advanced material selection.

Case Study: Validating Rocket Duct Integrity

When a private space company needed to test the strength and flexibility of rocket engine ducts carrying cryogenic fuel and oxidizer, they turned to Stress Aerospace & Defense. Using a custom-built Stewart Table (Hexapod), our engineers performed six-degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) testing to simulate real-world launch conditions. The goal: determine structural limits under peak loading and gather critical stiffness data.

This highly technical project demanded innovation, rapid adaptation, and a deep understanding of complex hydraulic systems. Our team not only delivered but enhanced the test rig mid-project to meet rising performance demands—completing all testing successfully.
