Vibrations, shocks... are part of the environmental constraints that an equipment may have to face.
Testing is an integral part of environmental qualification testing.
These tests form a family of tests that complement those of climatic and physico-chemical environments.
Vibration - Vibration testing (sine, random, sinus over noise,...)
Low, medium and high frequency vibrations
Accidental (Impacts, falls,...) or related to the life profile of an equipment (landing, shooting,...), mechanical shocks are to be taken into account.
Nuclear reactors, strategic military facilities and other sensitive sites... seismic tests are a requirement for various industrial facilities.
Mechanical tests, tests of endurance, resistance,... over time, repetitive movements can damage equipment.
Constant acceleration tests may reveal mechanical and structural weaknesses not necessarily detected in vibration or mechanical shock.
Windmilling tests are tests performed in aeronautics to simulate vibrations generated by the free rotation of an engine turbine with a blown blade.
