SCAT commissioning in Madrid
After only two weeks of installation works, our colleagues just finished the successful commission of a 1 MN Small CATapult (SCAT) in the brand new lab of the ICAI (Higher Technical School of Engineering) of the Comillas Pontifical University (Madrid, Spain).
The ICAI students and doctorands will study the influence of sudden decelerations (crashes) in human corpses as well as performing passive safety tests reproducing normative and R&D deceleration pulses for worldwide automotive safety systems suppliers. Moreover, the hydro-pneumatic system is aimed for studying the effects of a crash when riding cars in non-forward looking sitting positions or when riding micromobility vehicles.
