Testing next-generation jet engines requires the ability to safely, rapidly and reliably perform highly specialized rigorous experiments and handle the massive amounts of output data from strain gauges, dynamic pressure transducers, tachometers, accelerometers, microphones, and other sensors. Speed and reliability are absolute necessities in performing these tests efficiently, in addition to integrated monitoring capabilities and tools to quickly post-process results. To meet these challenging demands, LMS Test.lab for jet engine testing combines flexible data acquisition, fast and accurate data recording with on-line analysis, automatic alarm capabilities to avoid damage and accelerated post-processing of large data volumes. A growing number of jet engine manufacturers and testing facilities have turned to LMS, because of its state-of-the-art solution and LMS’ extensive background in noise and vibration testing and analysis. In addition, LMS offers engineering data management and collaboration solutions that allow development teams, often located far away from the testing sites, the capability to retrieve and validate test data within minutes after the measurement.
