Aviation safety: Material testing through precise NVH Analyses


Learn how high-precision, real-time data acquisition and the LTTsmart Power-Analyzer are revolutionizing critical NVH analyses in the aviation industry


High-precision material testing is the foundation of safety and efficiency in the aviation industry. Every material used in aircraft construction must withstand extreme conditions such as vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress. Even microscopic material defects or unexpected resonances can have fatal consequences. Engineers are therefore under constant pressure to precisely validate the limits of lightweight construction methods and new composite materials before an aircraft takes off.

This is where NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) analysis comes into play. It examines noise, vibrations, and harshness to understand the dynamic behavior of components under real-world conditions. NVH is indispensable because it directly links acoustic signals and mechanical vibrations to structural weaknesses, fatigue, or unwanted resonances before they lead to material failure.

To reliably capture these transient effects and high-frequency oscillations, more than just standard measuring equipment is needed: real-time measurements with the highest precision. This is the only way to record even the slightest anomalies in the microsecond range and signal waveforms without phase shift or data loss. Every detail that is missed can lead to a misinterpretation of material behavior.

The LTTsmart Power-Analyzer was developed specifically for such demanding high-end measurement tasks as those found in the aerospace industry. With its uncompromising sampling rate, galvanic isolation, and the ability to capture electrical and mechanical measurement data in perfect synchronization in real time, it provides the reliable data foundation that test engineers need.
