Measurement & Testing for Mechanical Systems
Accurate measurement and testing are critical to understanding mechanical performance, identifying issues, and validating engineering models. At Environmentally Sound, our Mechanical Engineering Consultants provide expert-level services in strain gauging, vibration measurement, modal analysis, and structural model updating. Whether youβre troubleshooting a failure, validating a design, or fine-tuning a simulation, we deliver high-precision data that drives confident engineering decisions.
Our Measurement & Testing Services
π Strain Gauge Measurements
We offer precise installation and data acquisition from electrical resistance strain gauges on components, structures, and machinery. Our services support:
- Load path and stress distribution analysis
- Validation of FEA models
- Fatigue life prediction
- Dynamic and static loading conditions
Deliverables: Strain vs. time plots, principal stress analysis, and correlation with simulation results.

π Vibration Measurements
We perform on-site vibration surveys using accelerometers, velocity transducers, and displacement probes to assess:
- Machinery health
- Structural response under dynamic loading
- Rotating equipment diagnostics
- Environmental vibration assessments
Applications: Predictive maintenance, resonance identification, vibration isolation design.
π Modal Analysis & Testing
Our modal testing identifies natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping ratios using impact hammer or shaker excitation techniques. This is essential for:
- Structural dynamics validation
- FEA correlation and calibration
- Avoiding resonance in designs
We use advanced data acquisition systems and software to generate modal models that support simulation and design decisions.

π Vibration Testing & Model Updating
We integrate physical vibration testing with simulation model refinement:
- Experimental modal data used to update FEA models
- Stiffness, damping, and mass parameters calibrated using real-world results
- Improved prediction accuracy for critical dynamic responses
Outcome: Confident simulations that match observed performance and reduce design risk.
