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 ...

The MicroVibe™ portable vibration test and measurement instrument is designed to provide sophisticated analysis of rotating equipment for technicians working in industrial or commercial settings.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The first CSeries test aircraft has re-entered a series of ground vibration checks less than a month after completeing first flight, Bombardier revealed today. A nearly 3min clip posted on the company ...
