In summary, these advanced engineering testing and analysis services enable a deeper understanding of a system's dynamic behavior, allowing engineers to improve the machinery reliability and optimize performance.
Modal testing is used to identify the natural vibration properties of a structure, including its natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping. Knowing these modal parameters is critical for predicting and preventing vibration-related issues in mechanical systems, structures, and components. Modal analysis can help engineers optimize designs, troubleshoot vibration problems, and validate finite element models.
Operational deflection shape (ODS) analysis is used to visualize the dynamic motion of a structure under operating conditions. ODS testing can reveal complex vibration patterns that may not be evident from modal analysis alone. This helps engineers understand root causes of vibration issues and determine appropriate corrective actions.
Fatigue analysis is used to predict the lifespan of components subjected to cyclic loading. By analyzing the stresses and strains in a component, engineers can assess its susceptibility to fatigue failure and make design improvements to enhance durability.
Drivetrain simulation allows engineers to model the dynamic behavior of complex mechanical systems like transmissions, gearboxes, and drivelines. This helps optimize designs, troubleshoot issues, and validate analytical models before physical prototypes are built.
Experimental stress analysis, using techniques like strain gauging, provides direct measurement of stresses and strains in physical components. This data is critical for validating finite element models and ensuring structural integrity under real-world operating conditions.
