Case Study 01 - Old & new head expander comparision
CT presents a new information line-up: 'Case Studies'.
The first CS is dedicated to head expanders.
This kind of accessory, which is so useful and popular among vibration test labs, is generally thought not subject to valuable improvement.
In this simple presentation, we show you otherwise.

Sine Burst testing at CENTROTECNICA's Lab
"Sine Burst (SB) Testing is used for strength testing of aerospace hardware as an alternate to static pull and centrifuge tests.
The main advantage is that testing can be implemented while hardware is on the shaker for other tests.
It also imposes a lower number of cycles on the hardware compared with a sine dwell or sweep, and is particularly suitable for relatively stiff components or electronics boxes, instruments, or spacecraft.
Identified risks can be mitigated by best practices."
