Aircraft structures are prone to vibrations due to their lightweight construction. In most cases, these vibrations are not critical. They decay due to damping effects from aerodynamic forces and ...

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 ...

Whenever an aircraft engine experiences a vibration problem, it is important to identify the problem quickly so as to save both time and cost of removing the engine. When trim balancing is needed to ...

Jet engine vibration is arguably the worst enemy of a typical aircraft maintenance team. Parts which are out of balance can eventually result in a cracked turbine, fan, and compressor components, as ...

Vibration testing emerged in the early 1960s as electronics systems became more complex and widely available. This led to a need for greater reliability, with one of the major early adopters being the ...
