Profile: Vibration Analysts, Inc. offers a complete line of professional vibration services, including remote data analysis. Our complete line of vibration services include remote vibration data analysis, database creation, optimization & maintenance, formal vibration training, component balancing, operating deflection shape & modal analysis testing and advanced component testing & troubleshooting services. Operating deflection shape (ODS) tests provide a 3-D computer animation that shows how a component, structure or piping moves at any given frequency. ODS tests help to determine the cause of vibration problems, but since they are time consuming, they should only be done after all other tests have failed to identify a cause. ODS tests typically take a week to perform: two days to generate the computer model, two days to collect the data and one day to analyze it.
