Dynamic Systems Inc. (DSI), a subsidiary of Vishay Precision Group Inc. (NYSE: VPG), announced today (2025‑09‑30) a beta evaluation of its Ultra‑High‑Temperature Ceramic and Composite (UHTC) testing system in partnership with Stony Brook University (SBU). The system will be housed in SBU’s Fracture Analysis and Creep at Elevated Temperatures (FACET) laboratory, part of the Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center (AERTC).
The UHTC system enables testing of ceramics and other non‑conductive materials at temperatures exceeding 2,000 °C, providing researchers with new capabilities for studying advanced materials under extreme conditions. It builds on DSI’s widely adopted Gleeble® thermal‑mechanical simulator and introduces a step‑change in experimental throughput—up to 10 × faster than conventional systems—while maintaining the accuracy and reliability required for advanced research.
This beta trial is the second in DSI’s UHTC program, following a collaboration with the University of Alabama. The partnership with SBU accelerates development by providing real‑world research feedback and positions VPG to serve next‑generation high‑performance materials research, including fusion energy and other demanding applications.
"We are pleased to collaborate with Stony Brook University in this critical stage of the UHTC system’s development," said Dr. Nick Moelders, President of Dynamic Systems Inc. "This beta system is the second in our program and is an important milestone in validating the system for broad use in the research community."
