Vibration analysis, calculation and simulation
Improve the reliability of your structures and associated components
Why carry out a vibration analysis?
- Understand vibration behaviour by identifying the natural frequencies and modes of vibration of structures.
- Simulate responses to different types of excitation, including random sources of excitation.
- Diagnose vibration and optimise design to improve product robustness, comfort and durability.
- Reduce noise and vibration impact levels (NVH) in mechanical and industrial systems.
- Assess the resistance of systems to seismic events or shocks (half-sine) and guarantee compliance with safety standards.
Our vibration analysis services
