Modal Testing Part I: Why Ground Vibration Tests Are Essential for Aviation Safety

Описание: Dive into the world of modal testing with Dan Linehan, a Senior Technical Advisor at ATA Engineering, in the first of a two-part video series. In this video, Dan breaks down the essentials of modal testing, also known in the aircraft industry as performing ground vibration tests (GVTs), and explains why it’s a cornerstone of aircraft safety and performance.

Watch Modal Testing Part I and learn how a GVT is used to validate structural integrity and flight safety, characterize vibration responses of aircraft and aerospace platforms, and prevent phenomena like flutter. You’ll also discover how ATA has pioneered and patented advanced modal testing techniques and excitation methods by leveraging tools like accelerometers, modal hammers, and shakers to achieve precise and efficient results. The video will also highlight ATA’s iron bird, an in-house test training device.
