Testing / Data Analysis
                                       
We provide testing in many areas including strain, acceleration, fatigue, and materials. We design and conduct testing programs for companies interested in verifying design, uncovering design weak points, validating FEA predictions, and understanding causes of failure. We also provide assistance in developing and conducting test-readiness reviews.
Strain Test
One form of testing in common use for model validation and failure analysis is strain testing. Strain testing can form a crucial aspect of a complete analysis for design or against failure. We have experience installing and interpreting strain measurements for industrial and commercial products, transportation vehicles, and energy systems. We instrument and conduct strain testing, and use contemporary analysis techniques such as principal strain, von Mises strain, and other variations to best interpret results. We provide strain measurements for detailed laboratory tests or complicated state-of-the-art data acquisition field applications.
Also, see the vibration and signal processing tab and the failure analysis and fatigue tab for other types of testing and analyses.
