Applied Technical Services performs mechanical shock and vibration testing services through our environmental testing department. Mechanical shock and vibe tests assess material and component performance when exposed to mechanical forces. ATS’ ISO 9001:2015 certified laboratory can simulate operating, transit, and installation conditions in compliance with relevant standards.
Vibration Testing Methods
Our vibration testing services can satisfy safety compliance, vibration qualification, and industry requirements using a wide variety of testing methods. Our vibration testing capabilities include:
- Sine
- Transportation Vibration
- Combined Temp / Vibe Exposure
- Engine Mounted Vibration
- Sine on Random
- Earthquake Simulation
- Resonance Search and Dwell
- Random
- Rough Handling
- Classic Shock
- Nuclear Seismic Testing
- Seismic Testing
- Passenger Compartment Vibration
- Random on Random
Numerous industries benefit from our vibration testing services, especially electrical, automotive, military, aerospace, and nuclear.
Shock Testing Methods
We offer an array of shock testing methods, such as fragility, transit drop, crash hazard, pendulum impact, functional, material to be packaged, and bench handling shock tests. These tests allow us to detect numerous flaws and defects, including:
- Structural Failures
- Magnetic Field Variations
- Connection Failures
- Friction Between Parts
- Material Failures: warping, cracks, breakage, etc.
- Electrostatic Field Variations
- Mechanical Failures
- Failure in Electronic Circuit Cards
- Loss of Insulation Resistance
- Change in Dielectric Strength
Reliable Environmental Testing
Mechanical vibration and shock tests can reliably replicate the forces expected during handling, crashes, and transit. We help clients thoroughly evaluate the fragility or durability of their products and materials, allowing them to adjust their manufacturing process, design, packaging, and other decisions accordingly. We conduct testing in compliance with numerous standards, such as:
- IEC 60068-2-6
- IEC 60068-2-64
- MIL-STD 810G Method 514.6
- RTCA-DO-160 Section 7: Shock and Crash Safety
- SAE J1455
- IEC 60068-2-27
- MIL-STD 202G Method 213
- MIL-STD 810G Method 516.6
- RTCA-DO-160 Section 8: Vibration
- IEEE 344
We assist clients with failure prevention and optimizing operation by ensuring standard compliance.
