We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Vibration Testing",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Vibration testing improves aircraft safety from
LMS International, which we summarised at the time by saying "LMS Test.Lab was used to detect the aircraft resonances as a verification of the aircraft safety and reliability before the first actual test flights".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Converting from hydraulics to an electric actuator from
Micromech: "Micromech Technical Director Stirling Morley debunks some of the myths about electric linear actuators that have slowed their adoption in many applications".
In December 2007, we covered the news from AV Technology
concerning its Vibration testing
- take a look at Testing satisfies vibration legislation
which says: "AV Technology is experienced in assessing vibration levels for a diverse range of equipment, ranging from pneumatic drills and cutters to drivers' cabs on tractors".
Take a look also at the news release from Bruel and Kjaer UK, Sound software receives Vista upgrade,
as well as Taiwanese sensor distribution deal reached from Endevco,
and Workstation allows noise and vibration testing from Metrum Information Storage.
