Random vibration testing provides energy simultaneously at all frequencies. Vibration testing can help ensure that your new design will survive its intended environment. The problem is knowing how ...

The 40 ft diameter, vault-like, 40-ton door of NASA's Johnson Space Center’s historic Chamber A was sealed shut on July 10, 2017. This signified the start of around 100 days of cryogenic testing for ...

Vibration testing emerged in the early 1960s as electronics systems became more complex and widely available. This led to a need for greater reliability, with one of the major early adopters being the ...

Ground vibration testing of DLR's D328® UpLift research aircraft has been successfully completed. The data will be used to validate and improve the aircraft's simulation model, to enable faster and ...

Aircraft structures are prone to vibrations due to their lightweight construction. In most cases, these vibrations are not critical. They decay due to damping effects from aerodynamic forces and ...
