• Prosig Shock Response Analysis

    In aerospace and nuclear applications, the failure of electronic components due to mechanical shock is often more difficult to detect than structural failure. These shocks may result from a series of relatively low-level impacts or a single high-energy event. The relationship between a shock event and its potential to cause damage is complex, and direct…

  • DATS-HITS Using gfai tech Automatic Impact Hammer

    The integration of Prosig DATS ( What Do Prosig Do?)  with the WaveHitMAX from gfai tech offers a modern and highly reliable approach to experimental modal testing. By combining well-controlled excitation with precision data acquisition and advanced analysis tools, this system provides a streamlined workflow from impact to modal parameter extraction. Experimental modal testing requires…

    Strain Gauge Basics – Part 2 – Shunt Calibration

    As mentioned in the previous post, in order to relate the measured voltage difference across the bridge circuit to a strain measurement, we need a way of calibrating the system. In most systems, including the Prosig acquisition systems, this is done by including a high-precision shunt resistor across one of the legs in the bridge.…
