Dynamic Testing
Our dynamic test services provide the opportunity to simulate the dynamic environments encountered in the field. A wide range of types of vibration can be applied to mimic the very different shock environments of platforms such as aircraft, tracked vehicles and helicopters.
These tests can be combined with thermal testing if required. Shock testing can be conducted using a drop test facility or by closed loop control of a vibration generator enabling the simulation of complex shock pulses and use of methods such as Shock Response Spectra.
In addition we can support field data collection exercises to enable the real operating environment, in which equipment has to operate, to be quantified. The testing is supported by sophisticated monitoring and data analysis capabilities including Operating Deflection Shape and Modal Analysis.
