The ISD materials science lab is equipped with a multitude of industrial grade tensile and dynamical testing machines. These are used for educational purposes as well as crafting and testing custom components for experiments.
The image below shows a device used for dynamically testing component durability or wear during a simulated typical life cycle.

Additionally, machines for tensile testing are available. One such machine is shown in the picture below. PCs are directly connected, so plots and data can be handled easily.
