Company Profile

Durability, Inc. located in Blacksburg, VA, was founded in December 1993 with the mission of developing new products and technologies for the analysis, design and characterization of high performance engineering materials. The modeling, analysis, and life prediction of composite material systems is one of our major thrusts. With the support of a strong team of engineers from diverse technical backgrounds, we have established a unique blend of capabilities ranging from laboratory automation & Training to composite fabrication, modeling, mechanical characterization, as well as Chemical Analysis and testing. Today, Durability has a leading edge expertise in modeling, prediction of stiffness, remaining strength, health monitoring and durability of composites & engineering materials as well as chemical analysis. The Durability Analyzer(C), one of the company's patents, is being developed under an exclusive license from the Virginia Center for Innovation Technology. In 1993, the company was awarded a grant by the Department of Energy, under the Energy Related Innovations Program for further development and commercialization of Durability Analyzer. Durability is currently pursuing funding and marketing partners for developing its original concepts and products, such as the Durability Analyzer, and the Dura-Composer(TM) virtual laboratory software.
Located at the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center, Durability conducts research, development, engineering and production as well as materials and chemical characterization and consulting related activities in its state-of-the-art facilities. The company has a licencing agreement with MTS Corporation, one of the largest materials testing equipment manufacturers in the world, for the development of Dura-Composer(TM) virtual laboratory system using National Instruments Corporation data acquisition and LabVIEW platform. This is accomplished throught the company's Alliance membership with National Instruments Corporation.

Through the strength of its scientific staff and affiliates, Durability has achieved a leadership position in many areas of engineered material systems, process control, laboratory automation and Mechanical as well as Chemical testing and analysis. Our technologies and products are protected by granted or pending patents, and patent disclosures in various areas of composite materials testing and analysis, and Analytical Chemistry. A close affiliation is maintained with the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and its composite research units such as: Virginia institute for Material Systems; NSF STC for High Performance Polymeric Adhesives and Composites; NASA-Virginia Tech Center for Com posites; Center for Composite Materials and Structures; Materials Response Group, Scientific & Visualization Laboratory, and the Department of Engineering Science & Mechanics. By bringing university research results into the industrial environment, Durability contributes to the development of technology based job opportunities, and increases the marketability of academic based research, and the competitiveness of US products in the world market. Our partnerships and affiliations with all the above entities has enabled us to provide state-of-the-art services and solutions to a wide variety of industries joining our growing list of clients.
