For decades, strain gauges have played a useful role in the world of engineering and testing. They serve on the frontline in deciphering the intricate deformations materials undergo under various stress conditions. In this blog post we’ll take a deeper dive into how strain gauges work. Principles of Operation At
From oil and gas to power generation and beyond, rotating equipment, such as turbines, generators, and other machinery, plays a vital role throughout a number of industries. To keep this equipment on-line and running at peak performance, operating data is collected as a part of preventive maintenance, performance measurement, and/or
From oil and gas to power generation and beyond, rotating equipment, such as turbines, generators, and other machinery, plays a vital role throughout a number of industries. As a result, keeping this equipment on-line and operating at maximum efficiency is critical. To keep this equipment on-line and running at peak
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a versatile tool that empowers engineers to make informed decisions, enhance product performance, and address structural challenges by providing detailed insights into the behavior of complex systems. FEA plays a pivotal role in predicting the behavior of structures, components, products/assemblies, and materials under various conditions.
Modal analysis is a powerful technique in structural engineering and dynamics that aims to understand the dynamic behavior of a structure by identifying its natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping ratios. This method plays a crucial role in assessing the structural integrity, performance, and response of various mechanical and civil
Test data plays a pivotal role in the validation of product designs, serving as a critical tool to ensure the functionality, reliability, and overall effectiveness of a product. Designers and engineers rely on test data to simulate real-world operating conditions, identify potential issues, and refine designs before reaching the production
6DOF Testing & Analysis has a wide range of capabilities when it comes to testing industrial equipment. We understand the criticality of ensuring the reliability, safety, and performance of industrial machinery, and our services are designed to meet these requirements. Here are some of our key industrial equipment testing capabilities:
We’re pleased to announce a partnership with Wolf Star Technologies. This collaboration brings new capabilities for determining the actual loads of structures. These measurements are obtained from tests involving representative duty cycles or customer usage enabling True-Load to back calculate real world loads. Furthermore, these loads can be applied to
Have you ever wanted to capture strain data in a location that is less than ideal? Maybe the location is subject to extreme temperatures, washdown procedures, or there are just too many contaminants in the area to install a traditional strain gage. If so, weldable strain gages may be the
In this digital world, it may be hard for some to believe that there’s still a place for anything manual or physical – especially in the engineering realm. And, while it’s true that today’s technologies have cut into the dependence on physical testing, real-world data remains the lifeblood of the
