About

The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to Weiss Technik UK Ltd for an environmental chamber on behalf of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

The chamber will be a central component of the new Laboratory for Verification and Validation (LVV), providing a unique capability for vibration and acoustic testing of substantial structures under environmentally realistic conditions.

The walk-in chamber will control temperature (-55ºC to 50ºC), humidity (10-80%), wind (0-50 mph), and simulate rain and potentially snow.

It will house a 3-axis hydraulic shake table and two mobile single-axis electrodynamic shakers, with all integrated vibration equipment protected against water ingress and temperature extremes.

The contract value is £3,155,904.
