Services

	Dynamics Test Services Offered
	Your choices are...
	Acceleration		Company performs acceleration or centrifuge testing to determine high g performance.
	Aging / Life Testing (HALT)		The supplier offers aging or life testing services.
	Crash Safety		Company performs tests to evaluate crash safety ratings.
	Drop / Impact Testing		An impact or drop test involves dropping a loaded container to determine its resistance to rupture and leakage, or to assess its ability to protect the contents from damage. This includes any test method where the package is dropped in a specified manner a specific number of times, or until the package fails from impact.
	Shock Testing		Company performs seismic or network-equipment-building system (NEBS) compliance tests. These tests subject anchors to load cycles of varying magnitude and frequency to simulate seismic events.
	Transportation Test		Testing designed to simulate the shipping, handling or freighting of packages, parts or products.
	Stress Screening / HASS		Stress screening or highly accelerated stress screening (HASS) uses vibration or dynamic and thermal stress limits to quickly verify the suitability of production products or components. The results from HALT testing are used to set test limits for production screening or HASS tests.  The knowledge the operating and destruct (where possible) limits from HALT testing allow higher climatic and mechanical stimuli resulting in shorter test times in HASS.
	Vibration (Random / Sine)		Companies offer vibration analysis or testing services. Vibration testing may include bounce, sine, or random vibration testing services. Bounce tests are often used to simulate certain transportation conditions. Vibration analysis is used to detect and assess the condition of product, rotary machines, and other equipment.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted specialty services.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Accelerated (HALT / HASS)?		Accelerated testing and screening includes highly accelerated life testing (HALT) and highly accelerated stress screening (HASS). The results from HALT testing are used to set test limits for production screening or HASS tests. The operating and/or destruct limits derived from HALT testing allows the use of higher climatic and mechanical stimuli, resulting in shorter test times in HASS compared to conventional stress testing. HALT is a process developed to uncover design defects and weaknesses in electronic and mechanical assemblies using vibration testing, combined with rapid high and low temperature changes. HALT addresses reliability issues at an early stage in product development, offering significant advantages over traditional techniques.
	Search Logic:		"Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
	Combined Environments / Conditions?		Company tests using a combination of environments or conditions such as vibration and humidity, or sine and random vibration.
	Search Logic:		"Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
