Structural & Mechanical Testing Services
“We find what your structure is really doing — before the field finds it for you.”
Measured answers FEA alone can’t give — modal behavior, real load paths, duty cycles, and noise — across aerospace, off-highway, rail, and civil programs.
Structural & Mechanical Testing
- Answers the questions FEA alone can’t — measured modal behavior, ODS, and real load paths.
- De-risks launches and design releases with test data customers can defend upward.
- Root-causes failures fast: vibration, fatigue, and structural dynamics expertise on staff (CAT II/III analysts).
Scope: Experimental modal analysis & impact testing; ODS; fatigue & durability testing; rigid-body motion & structural dynamics operating tests; in-field and lab programs across aerospace, off-highway, rail, civil.
Pre-launch structural testing programs for aerospace customers (Blue Origin coverage on the blog).
Road Load Data Acquisition (RLDA)
- Replaces assumed load cases with measured duty cycles — better fatigue life predictions, lighter designs.
- In-vehicle logging that survives the proving ground: rugged, unattended, synchronized.
- ITM handles instrumentation, logging, and reduction — your engineers get answers, not raw files.
Scope: Multi-channel strain, accel, GPS, CAN, tach acquisition; unattended & remote-monitored logging; rugged RAC-series packaging; route/duty-cycle programs for vehicles & off-highway equipment.

Vibration & Sound Testing
- Genset and test-cell programs that map directly onto ISO limits.
- NVH programs that pair acoustic data with vibration channels for real diagnostics.
- Field noise testing in operating plants — not just chambers.
Scope: Genset vibration testing; ISO noise testing & data logging; NVH acquisition with synchronized vibration; sound-source identification.
Decades of genset vibration programs for a major heavy-equipment OEM.
Next step: get trustworthy data off the real asset.
