Abstract
In general, tests can be divided into four categories: parameter estimation (e.g. material strength), phenomenological investigation, validation and qualification. According to this classification tests are carried out on a structural or component level and on a coupon level. For structural testing a Buckling Test Facility, a Variable Component Test Facility and a thermo-mechanical test field are described. Furthermore, information is given on specimen level tests with devices for standard test machines: Stringer Pull-off Device and 3D-Biax Device.
