Submarine Engineers Simulate Real-Time Conditions to Test Key Components
Existing laboratory test methods don’t allow submarine engineers to test how a motor will vibrate in real-world conditions on a ship at sea, so designers take the conservative approach to prepare for the worst. But a team of UConn engineers has developed a method to test vibrating, manufactured components, using actuators and shake tables, sensors, and mathematical formulas that can replicate the system-level, real-time conditions.
GE Night: The Annual Celebration of a Strong Public-Private Partnership
