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 ...

Vibration testing helps to predict how well a product will withstand its intended service or transportation environment. Some new vibration controllers have the capability to replicate data recorded ...

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 ...

For 55 years, TNO has been investigating the effect of shock and vibration loading on naval vessels and on-board equipment. In the event of a non-contact underwater explosion (UNDEX), our research ...

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 ...

Vibration monitoring is widely used in mechanical analysis, especially for machinery with reciprocating and rotating parts, including engines, bearings, gear boxes, and motors. Monitoring vibration ...

A "clean test" is placed over the telescope assembly of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope in November in advance of vibration testing of the telescope at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Credit: ...
