Vibration Engineering
Experienced mechanical engineering consultants and engineers specialised in vibration engineering - vibration analysis, design for vibration environments etc.
"We solve vibration problems"
We provide vibration engineering services to all industrial sectors, and have over 28 years of experience in solving vibration challenges from design to vibration investigations We are vibration consultants and mechanical engineers that provide vibration consulting services from vibration monitoring to product design for vibration environments - ruggedized design.
Vibration Consultants
The vibration consultant is the key link between you and our vibration engineering team, from being the vibration investigator to being your liaison.
Vibration Measurements and Monitoring
There are two areas of vibration monitoring and measurements that we provide:
The latter being more analysis intensive due to the complexity of the data.
Vibration Analysis - Measurements and Numerical Modelling
By acquiring the vibrations of equipment and structures, we analyse the vibration data to create numerical models to understand and illustrate the behaviour, to then improve the behaviour by amending the design. Read more here!
Vibration Analysis - Finite Element Analysis
Using linear and nonlinear vibration analysis finite element software like Ansys and Abaqus, we can analyse the vibration, displacement, stress and strain of that structure. By using the acquired vibration data of the physical structure, we then update the model to ensure the model is a true representation, before improving the design for optimal behaviour.

Vibration Control
Vibration control is acquired by vibration analysis and structural optimisation by design and model updating when vibration isolation is not possible.
This approach we've taken extensively in the aerospace industry when weight and structural dynamics are paramount. Read more here!
Vibration Isolation
We have isolated vibration from transmitting into neighbouring components and structures in several industrial sectors. Read more here!
A vibration isolation mechanism is sought when vibration must be prevented from transmitting into neighbouring components, systems or structures. To implement vibration isolation, the vibration frequency of the source must be higher than the natural frequency of the source when mounted on isolation mounts; if this is not the case, vibration control is the appropriate approach.

NVH - Noise, Vibration and Harshness
The source of noise is mostly due to vibration and the noise radiating from the vibrating surfaces.
Achieving the ideal perception of noise and vibration for the operator is possible with extensive knowledge and expertise in vibration, structural dynamics amd noise radiation.
Structural Dynamics
We analyse the structural dynamics to improve the vibration of structures, and use the above-mentioned methods to optimise the structural behaviour by manipulating the mode shapes by changing the stiffness and mass distribution of the structure.
Design for Vibration - ruggedized designs
Designing products that will be subjected to vibration is usually performed in an iterative manner between the design software and the structural analysis software. However, the most valuable expertise that we have is our experience in designing, analysing and testing equipment to pass vibration testing and the lessons we have learnt in the aerospace industry over 15 years.
Vibration testing - pass with the first attempt!
Vibration testing is supposed to be a tick in the box exercise to physically demonstrate that a product can endure and survive the specified vibration profile.
In the aerospace industry, we inherited several products that failed within 10% of the vibration test, as not every component can be analysed in finite element software, and it was our experience and expertise that improved the product to endure its entire test duration successfully.
It is our experience over 15 years in testing that we offer you, to ensure that you have an improved chance of passing vibration testing with the first attempt.
