Measured data instead of assumptions

Before designing any damping solution, you need to know what you're actually dealing with. Without accurate data, every decision is based on assumptions, which will lead to systems that are over-engineered, underspecified, or don't match the environment.

Field Measurement & Data Logging remove uncertainty by recording real shock and vibration levels.

✓ Real-world data recorded on-site
✓ Converted into SRS curves and load cases
✓ Validated input for compliance and certification

Field Measurement & Data Logging is used for:

  • Military vehicles and naval platforms
  • Offshore structures
  • Industrial machinery
  • Transport and logistics environments

✓ No more guesswork
Real operational loads are recorded, not assumed, removing uncertainty from the design process.

✓ Accurate engineering input
Measured data feeds directly into SRS curves and our Calculation & Simulation Software.

✓ Compliance-ready documentation
Verified input data supports your certification and procurement process.

✓ Confidence in existing systems 
Confirms whether your current damping solution is still performing as intended.

"Not knowing your real-world loads isn't a dead end. It's where every accurate damping solution begins."

Field Measurement & Data Logging (FMD)

For real-world shock and vibration data collection.

When operational data is unavailable or uncertain, we perform on-site measurements using standalone data loggers. Shock and vibration levels are recorded directly in the field to provide accurate input for system design and verification.

 

Choose Field Measurement & Data Logging when:

✓ Real operational loads are unknown
✓ Existing systems show unexpected vibration behaviour
✓ Verification testing is required
✓ Reliable input data is critical for compliance

Typical applications

  • Military vehicles and naval platforms
  • Offshore structures
  • Industrial machinery
  • Transport and logistics environments

Calculation & Simulation Software (CSS)

For precise, validated dimensioning of your damping system.

Our in-house software analyses and dimensions spring and damper systems under severe shock and vibration loads, using either measured field data or project specifications as input. Dynamic behaviour is evaluated in both time and frequency domains.

Field Measurement provides the real-world data; CSS turns that data into a validated, certifiable design.
 

Choose Calculation & Simulation when

✓ Compliance with MIL, AECTP, DEF STAN, or naval standards is required
✓ Shock Response Spectra (SRS) evaluation is needed
✓ Controlled stresses and displacements must be verified
✓ Certification support is required

Typical standards

  • MIL-STD-810 / MIL-STD-167
  • MIL-STD-901
  • AECTP-400
  • DEF STAN 00-035
  • BV 0430 / BR 8470

TURN MEASURED DATA INTO CERTIFIED ENGINEERING INPUT

At Damping Solutions, Field Measurement data is not just some numbers; it becomes documented, traceable engineering input. Recorded shock and vibration levels are converted into SRS curves and load cases, verified against international standards, and made available for your certification or procurement process.

✓ MIL-STD-810 / MIL-STD-167
✓ MIL-STD-901
✓ AECTP-400
✓ DEF STAN 00-035
✓ BV 0430 / BR 8470

field measurement and data


 

How does Field Measurement work?

  1. Deploy: Standalone data loggers are installed directly at the relevant measurement point.
  2. Record: Shock and vibration levels are logged under real operational or transport conditions.
  3. Convert: Recorded data is processed into SRS curves and load cases.
  4. Engineer: Results feed directly into our Calculation & Simulation Software for validated system design.

Frequently asked questions about Field Measurement

 

What is Field Measurement & Data Logging?

On-site recording of real shock and vibration levels using standalone data loggers, used as accurate input for damping system design.

How long does a field measurement take?

This depends on the application from a single transport leg to continuous monitoring over several weeks, depending on what needs to be captured.

What equipment is used for data logging?

Standalone, self-powered data loggers such as the Saver 3D15 and Saver 9X, selected based on required accuracy, duration, and mounting conditions.

How is measured data used in system design?

Recorded data is converted into SRS curves and load cases, which are used directly in our Calculation & Simulation Software to dimension the correct damping solution.

Can Field Measurement be combined with product testing?

Yes. Measured field data can be used to define realistic test profiles for our ISO/IEC 17025-accredited Testing & Validation service.
