Vibration testing, Vibrations Testing, or a Vibration Test is done to introduce a forcing function into a structure, usually with some type of shaker. These induced vibrations are used in the laboratory or production floor for a variety of things, including qualifying products during design, meeting standards, regulatory qualifications (e.g. MIL-STD 810, etc.), fatigue testing, screening products, and evaluating performance.
Most often electrodynamic and servohydraulic shakers are used, depending on frequency range and displacement required. Data Physics, incorporating the history of Ling Electronics technology, produces industry standard electrodynamic vibration and shaker equipment for vibration tests and vibration testing.
Data Physics vibration test equipment provides a full range of shock and vibration testing that includes force generation, control, and measurement. Many advanced features are incorporated in both the hardware and software to provide state-of-the-art solutions for vibration testing.
