Shake Table Testing
Response Dynamics Vibration Engineering, Inc.
Shake table testing is often used in prototype analysis, failure analysis, shipping vibration testing and vibration sensitivity testing. We know what boundary conditions are vital for effective testing, how and where to instrument the system, how to deal with for off axis excitation (often not accounted for), and make the most efficient use of testing time. Let us have a look at your system and any specified vibration criteria before the shake test is designed. We can interpret the criteria, make sure it is applied appropriately, and make recommendations that will save valuable time and expense.

Strain Gage Testing
Response Dynamics Vibration Engineering, Inc.
Although strain measurement is often a key part of a root cause diagnosis, our analyses often also involve measurements of other parameters such as acceleration, relative displacement, pressure, temperature, flow, speed, load, dynamic stiffness, etc, to explore multiple parameters that may have a cause/effect relationship with the problem at hand. These measurements form part of a fact based hypothesis for the cause of the problem at hand. We use stain gauge testing and/or stain modeling and analysis, in conjunction with our structural dynamics expertise to characterize all the important pieces of the puzzle that come into play with dynamic strain issues (See Diagnostic Testing).

Finite Element Analysis
Response Dynamics Vibration Engineering, Inc.
An understanding of structural dynamics is very important to sound Finite Element Analysis (FEA). We have been performing FEA analysis for over 30 years and in most cases we have used experimental data to guide our modeling. While our engineers have had undergraduate and graduate courses in FEA, it is the years of modeling and analysis of existing structures that has taught us the most by forcing a thoughtful analysis of the key structural dynamics and then going though the process of making adjustments to boundary conditions, expanding the dynamics of the model in places, and making simplifications and approximations where possible.

Site Vibration And Noise Testing
Response Dynamics Vibration Engineering, Inc.
Effective vibration isolation is critical to the performance of many systems. It is often much more challenging than expected because the structural dynamics of the supporting structure, and the isolated structure, also affect the isolation performance. Isolation resonances can often create other vibration problems and confound an engineering team. We have successfully designed vibration isolation into countless systems over the years using unique custom solutions as well as adapting standard components and applying them properly to the design.

Vibration Testing
Response Dynamics Vibration Engineering, Inc.
We most often characterize a problem first and work from known conditions, and stay in “the known” as we proceed by making sense of what we observe as we move forward. We test and analyze the change in dynamics we are trying to create in real-time, on site, and often make changes to our experimental test plan on the fly as we discover how a system is actually behaving. In doing so we often get meaningful results from which we can make sound engineering decisions in a short time frame. We don't just make measurements and spit out data. We help identify the problem and propose solutions.
