Wind tunnel testing

Increased comfort: 

By precisely recording and analyzing vibrations, unpleasant vibrations that affect the interior of the vehicle can be minimized. The result is less noise and vibration inside the vehicle, which significantly improves ride comfort.

Optimization of driving dynamics: 

Vibrations that occur while driving due to external influences such as wind or road conditions can be simulated and optimized using the measurements in the wind tunnel. This leads to better driving stability and an overall smoother driving experience.

Maintaining structural integrity: 

Despite the optimization of aerodynamics and vibration behavior, the structural integrity of the vehicle is not compromised. The SMART series captures vibrations precisely, allowing engineers to keep the structure of the vehicle stable and safe.

Improved aerodynamics: 

While performing the non-contact vibration measurements with the SMART full body vibrometry system, aerodynamics can be evaluated at the same time as the air flow is not obstructed. Furthermore, air resistance can cause vibrations meaning that vibration data can be used to optimize the shape of the vehicle and minimize drag, which in turn increases energy efficiency.

Reduction of noise emissions: 

By precisely recording vibrations in critical areas of the aircraft, such as the wings or engines, disruptive noises can be detected at an early stage and reduced in a targeted manner. This leads to a significant improvement in the background noise in the cockpit and passenger cabin, which considerably increases comfort for passengers and crew.

Vibration optimization for greater efficiency: 

The SMART series measures vibrations caused by aerodynamic loads and mechanical stresses in flight. This detailed data can be used to optimize the structure of the aircraft and thus increase efficiency. Less vibration means less material fatigue and a longer service life for aircraft components.

Increase safety and reliability: 

By monitoring and analyzing even the smallest vibrations, the SMART series helps improve structural safety. Engineers gain deeper insights into the behavior of the aircraft under load and can make informed decisions that increase the overall reliability of the aircraft.

Improved aerodynamics: 

Vibrations not only affect noise, but also the aerodynamic performance of an aircraft. With the SMART series, developers can identify areas of the aircraft that cause vibrations and improve aerodynamics through targeted adjustments.

Stability and safety under wind load: 

The SMART series captures large movements and small vibrations on high-rise models and provides valuable information on how the structure reacts to strong wind forces. Engineers can use this data to ensure that the building remains stable in extreme weather conditions and does not exhibit dangerous fluctuations.

Early detection of weak points: 

Precise vibration maps can be used to identify weak points in the building structure at an early stage. These areas can then be specifically reinforced to ensure the long-term stability and safety of the building.

Optimization of building designs: 

With the detailed vibration data collected by the SMART series, architects and engineers can adjust the design of the high-rise building to make it less susceptible to wind forces. This leads to improved structural efficiency and a safer end product.

Simulation of real conditions in the wind tunnel: 

The SMART series offers the possibility to simulate the behavior of a building model under realistic wind conditions. The data obtained enables an accurate prediction of how the high-rise building will react to wind and other external forces in the real world.

Safety assurance under wind loading: 

The SMART series records the vibrations exerted on bridge structures by wind and other external influences. The precise results help engineers to ensure that the bridge remains stable even under extreme wind conditions and that no dangerous vibrations occur.

Early detection of structural weaknesses: 

By analyzing the vibrations in detail, potential weak points in the bridge structure can be identified at an early stage and strengthened in a targeted manner. This increases safety and minimizes the risk of structural damage or failure.

Longer bridge life: 

Precise analysis of vibrations makes it possible to identify areas that could suffer from material fatigue over time. Through targeted adjustments and reinforcements, the service life of the bridge can be extended and its resistance to wind and other external influences increased.

Simulation of real wind conditions: 

The SMART series makes it possible to test bridge models under realistic wind conditions in the wind tunnel. These simulations provide valuable data that enables an accurate prediction of how the bridge will react to wind and other dynamic forces in real operation.
