DYTE - HIGH STRAIN RATE LABORATORY


UNIQUE LABORATORY IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND WORLDWIDE

ABOUT US

DYTE – a top-tier high strain rate laboratory specializing in dynamic material testing.

We conduct precise analyses of material behavior under high-speed and dynamic loading conditions, simulating real operational environments.
Our advanced technologies and scientific approach ensure reliable and detailed results, optimizing material and structural properties for demanding applications.

RESULTS

The obtained results are utilized to develop precise material models for simulations, generate detailed stress-strain curves, investigate ballistic resistance, conduct numerical simulations using FEM, and analyze microstructure.
