MTS systems integration expertise is proving crucial to the development of the advanced, multi-axial test and simulation technologies that will be required to test the extremely large wind turbine structures planned for the near future. Advanced MTS testing technologies are simulating the multi-axial loading environments of wind turbine components such as blades, hubs, drive systems, bearings and more. Robust MTS load frame systems are conducting static and dynamic testing of advanced, lightweight composite materials. Advanced MTS Seismic Simulators – or shake tables – have been used to subject full-scale wind turbine structures to complex, real-world earthquake simulations.
