The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), Rosslyn, VA, has a new standard out for street and area lighting that addresses the impact of vibration on roadway lighting. NEMA published ...

The principal vibration testing capabilities which are in common use today largely evolved from the early requirements of the aerospace industry. Standard test protocols, random vibration, single axis ...

Researchers at the Institute of Aeroelasticity have successfully completed a ground vibration test with the DLR research aircraft ISTAR. Approximately 200 acceleration sensors were fitted to record ...

Jet engine vibration is arguably the worst enemy of a typical aircraft maintenance team. Parts which are out of balance can eventually result in a cracked turbine, fan, and compressor components, as ...

Airbus is planning to use a quicker technique to validate ground-vibration responses on the A330neo, having tested it on the A350-1000. The airframer says the testing is designed to assess the ...

Space structures are exposed to intense, quasi-static and dynamically mechanical accelerations, particularly during launch. The test laboratory is responsible for the qualification of components and ...

The ability to measure, monitor, and analyze vibration is essential to many industries and areas of research & development. Unfortunately, the proper methods for creating an accurate and repeatable ...

It’s easy to take for granted equipment that runs smoothly and is comfortable to operate. However, a great deal of research and testing goes into optimizing the vibration of an engine. Advancements in ...
