25W00029 - Acquisition and Installation of a Biaxial Fatigue Testing Machine for the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra

This tender, reference 25W00029, concerns the acquisition and installation of a biaxial fatigue testing machine. This specialized equipment is designated for the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Sciences and Technology, University of Coimbra. A biaxial fatigue testing machine is used to subject materials or components to cyclic loading in two directions simultaneously, simulating real-world stress conditions to evaluate their durability and lifespan under fatigue. Such testing is critical in mechanical engineering for research and development, quality control, and failure analysis of materials and structures. The University of Coimbra seeks this machine to enhance its research capabilities and provide advanced training for its students in material science and engineering. Potential suppliers must offer a high-performance, reliable biaxial fatigue testing system, including professional installation, calibration, and comprehensive user training. The tender documents will detail the specific technical requirements, testing capacities, software features, and after-sales support expected. This acquisition will significantly advance the department's capacity for cutting-edge research and education.

This is a supplies contract in the education and training, information and communication technology and architecture and engineering sectors, with a focus on Mechanical Engineering and Higher Education. Located in Portugal, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 300,000.
