ITM Employs JEDEC-9704A to Test Strain on Printed Circuit Boards Every modern electronic device includes at least one printed circuit board, so it stands to reason that these intricate parts fail at times due to stress and strain. When that happens, manufacturers know they can turn to ITM’s…
This box reveal may not be quite as dramatic as the ending of “Seven,” the ’95 serial killer thriller that blew moviegoers’ minds, but the ITM team is throwing open the latches nonetheless.
Example Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model validation using physical strain gauge and accelerometers testing.
The students and advisors huddled around the computer react as they watch the signal yield an immediate spike within ITM’s iTestSystem software…
building a rugged and flexible in-vehicle testing solution to measure the vibration levels.
…more than a thousand miles away. A display of gauges, needles and dials showed precisely how their product performed during every day over-the-road stress.
High-tech measurement systems? Not a problem. Complex data acquisition or custom software solutions? Right in our wheelhouse. At ITM, these kinds of challenges have become commonplace in our lab, but one recent project that hit our doorstep stretched our engineers, and not for the reasons you may be…
A large-engine manufacturer had test cells with severe vibration levels…
Automotive and off-highway engineers and designers often need to log vehicle bus data along with vibration, strain gauge, and other sensor data during normal operation to evaluate their design. Using data from all these sources enables these engineers and designers to pinpoint a vehicle’s response to staged or…
This video shows how to install a strain gauge on a curved surface using M-Bond AE-10 two part epoxy.
ITM delivers mobile data acquisition solutions to capture real-time feedback under actual conditions Whether we are testing a new component on a truck that’s a thousand miles away or putting an off-highway vehicle through its paces right in front of us, it’s our mobile data acquisition products that…
Obvious signs of fatigue — cracks at the corners of doors — had begun to surface on an in-service Railcar. A railcar structural testing case study.
