The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) performs modal analysis testing services that evaluate how materials and structures respond to applied forces. Commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, and engineering industries, modal analysis is an effective way to validate the design of a product or its components.
What is Modal Analysis?
Modal analysis is a scientific technique that determines the vibrational characteristics of structures and systems. The analysis process identifies the natural frequencies at which a structure resonates when subjected to external, vibration-inducing forces. These resonances, called modal shapes, correspond to the distinct deformation patterns a structure exhibits under vibration at its experiences vibrational frequencies.
Modal analysis is very important as it can anticipate a system’s response to external forces. Once manufacturers understand a structure’s modal properties, engineers can highlight potential vulnerabilities where excessive vibration might occur and cause complications. The information obtained from modal analysis helps design structures that can withstand real-world stresses.
Our Modal Analysis Testing Services
Our vibration testing lab offers high-quality modal analysis testing services that offer our clients important insight into an object’s natural vibrational tendencies. During the testing process, we stimulate the sample with vibrations, allowing us to observe the following:
- An object’s natural frequencies
- The amount of energy an object absorbs when vibrating
- How an object twists and bends during vibrations
Why is Modal Analysis Testing Important?
Modal analysis testing has an immense impact on a product’s integrity, performance, and safety because it can be used to do the following:
- Prevent catastrophic failures caused by resonance
- Improve product design and material selection efforts
- Ensure a products’ functionality and safety for end users
