At RMT Reliability, we understand that resonance can be highly damaging to rotating machinery. When the operating frequency matches the natural frequency, excessive vibrations occur, leading to increased mechanical stress and accelerated wear on components like bearings, gears, and shafts. This can cause cracks, misalignments, and even catastrophic failures, impairing performance and increasing maintenance costs.

To help you mitigate these risks, RMT Reliability offers comprehensive services including impact testing, Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA), and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modal analysis. Our impact testing involves striking the machinery with an instrumented hammer and analyzing the frequency response function (FRF) to identify natural frequencies and pinpoint resonance conditions.

Our EMA services excite the structure using controlled inputs and measure the output responses, identifying modal parameters such as natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping ratios. This enables us to detect potential resonance issues and implement corrective measures, enhancing machinery reliability and performance.

Additionally, our FEA modal analysis uses advanced computational techniques to predict natural frequencies and mode shapes. By creating detailed finite element models, we simulate various operating conditions and structural modifications, identifying potential resonance issues before physical prototypes are built. This allows for optimization of design parameters and validation of experimental results, ensuring your machinery’s reliability and longevity.

With RMT Reliability’s expertise, you can trust that your rotating machinery will be designed and maintained to avoid resonance, ensuring optimal performance and extended lifespan.
