Accelerated Life Testing Equipment
Accelerated Life Testing with the Living Lab
Accelerated Lifecycle Testing (ALT) is used to simulate the environmental and operational conditions expected over the lifecycle of a product in an accelerated time-frame.
This test will identify how the product should perform over its lifecycle and the likely failure modes under conditions it will experience.
The Living Lab has access to a wide range of test equipment on the UWA campuses as well as the ability to design and repurpose equipment for specific accelerated life trials.
Equipment Available
The following Accelerated Life Testing facilities are available. However, if you have tests that need equipment not described below, please talk to us.
Accelerated Bearing Failure Testing
Accelerated bearing failure testing on an industrial pump to track the signal degradation of different sensors.
More
Ultraviolet Radiation Testing
Accelerated UV degradation testing, to determine the reliability of equipment in a variety of environments, from the harsh Australian outback to the perpetual daylight of the polar regions, and their affect on all materials.
More
Vibration Testing
Vibration testing to artificially generate the working environment shocks and vibrations by a range of controlled vibration signal generated by the amplifier. A dedicated space to conduct vibration testing is available within the newly built EZONE UWA.

Ingress Protection Testing (Water)
A range of tests to validate your products IP rating. The ingress of water (‘leaking’) into a device poses a major risk to the long-term function of a piece of equipment, particularly if it is kept outside for sustained periods.
More
Ingress Protection Testing (Dust)
Simulation of the dusty conditions that devices can be exposed to while on a mine site. Electronics and sensors are placed within the simulation enclosure to see how they perform under dusty conditions.
Electro-Magnetic Compatibility Testing
Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing to verify if a device is emitting large amounts of electro-magnetic radiation, which can be potentially harmful to other equipment, and if it is susceptible to electromagnetic radiation emitted nearby.

Drop Test
Drop Test is the method of testing product shock resistance in different conditions.
