The severe vibrations aboard rockets, spacecraft, and satellites en route to orbit and those less severe but sometimes troublesome of military and commercial aircraft (especially helicopters), ...

Space structures are exposed to intense, quasi-static and dynamically mechanical accelerations, particularly during launch. The test laboratory is responsible for the qualification of components and ...

The 'Big Shaker' is an electrodynamic vibration test facility with a nominal force of 89 kilonewtons. It is run by the DLR Institute of Space Systems, and used for the approval of space systems and ...

A project is testing whether high-tech objects that look a bit like artificial trees can generate renewable power when they are shaken by the wind -- or by the sway of a tall building, traffic on a ...

Vibration testing helps to predict how well a product will withstand its intended service or transportation environment. Some new vibration controllers have the capability to replicate data recorded ...

Vibration testing and analysis. This has been referred to in a number of different ways, most of which are not meant to be complimentary. Voodoo box, black magic, rocket scientist stuff, etc. It is an ...

An international research team has investigated the impact of wind-induced vibrations on solar modules and has found that wind-induced stress can have significant mechanical repercussions on PV arrays ...
