Don’t Shake Before You Listen
Data Physics

Vibration-related failures in aerospace involve satellites, launch vehicles, and aircraft components that are expensive to replace. While traditional vibration testing can overcompensate and damage parts, modal analysis performs tests on the product before physically examining its endurance. Using modal analysis creates smarter vibration tests by measuring the structure’s inherent properties…
