VTI Instruments Corporation

Incorporated in 1990 in California, USA, VTI has been an industry leader

through a sustained focus on innovation and technology. Ground

breaking advances such as the industry’s first modular instrumentation

platform in 1992, to the first synthetic instrumentation platform in

1995, to the first modular switching system in 1997, identify notable

accomplishments.

Recent advances, such as designing and introducing the industry’s

next generation instrumentation platform, LXI, continue this legacy.

LXI has become the fastest growing instrumentation interface in history,

having been adopted by all major instrumentation manufacturers.

We continue to pioneer the development of new standards for test

and measurement through our involvement in industry standards

organizations. VTI Instruments Corporation is a founding member of the

LXI Consortium, presides over the VXI Consortium, and is active in other

organizations including VITA and PXI.

Industry Recognition

VTI is recognized as one of the top data acquisition designers and

manufacturers worldwide and has been presented with leading

industry honors. These honors clearly differentiate VTI as a corporate

citizen and identify our products as delivering world class measurement

performance. This recognition is based on criteria including design

innovation, instrumentation capability and performance, quality, and

sustained commitment to industry leadership.

From Education to Industry

VTI partners with educational institutions to provide the tools necessary to train

young engineers with the skills and knowledge to be productive employees in industry.

These educational centers of excellence also provide educational institutions with a

valuable source of revenue when teamed up with industry, helping to solve today’s problems

and develop tomorrows solutions. The University of Cincinnati exemplifies this.

Students who have been trained using the latest techniques on VTI hardware garner skills

that make them highly regarded in industry and are hired into some of the most demanding

industryoccupationsworldwide.Manyoftheuniversitystudentshavebecomeleadersin

industryatlocationslikeNasa,bMw,FordMotorCompany,andmanymore,leveragingthe

skills and experience gained at the university.

Potential Research Grants and Industry collaboration

Collaboration between academia and industry starts with proper tools and training for the

studentsandstaff.experiencehasshownthatcreativelearningenvironmentswiththeright

tools attract funding from outside government entities and industry to provide a resource that

generates revenue for the University and added experience for its students. .

VTI has a history working with Universities that have become the centers for excellence in

their fields. The University of Cincinnati is one such example of this cooperation in the areas of

structural dynamic testing and research. The University of Cincinnati has been on the forefront

of this type of research and is considered one of the leaders in the international community

and standardization of instrumentation platforms,

automating these tests has become simpler and

allowed manufacturers to increase test confidence

Overview

Collecting and analyzing physical data is an integral

partofanymechanicaldesign.Mechanicalsystems

like automobile engines, aircraft wings, and rockets

are tested rigorously, and the acquired data is used

to modify the design to increase performance and

reliabilityofthesystem.knowinghowtoperform

these test and how to use the test data to optimize

design is a crucial skill for any real world mechanical

engineer.

The advanced physical measurement and analysis

suite contains all the resources necessary for

performing static testing on mechanical systems.

Static measurements are slow or gradually changing

values like temperature and strain as opposed to

dynamic measurements which are fast and randomly

changing like vibrations. The instruments provided

in this suite are the same as those used to perform

testing and analysis of extremely complex systems

liketheboeingDreamlinerairframe,atkthiokol’s

Rocketengines,andge’spowergenerators.Using

these tools will give students hands on experience

Overview

Structural dynamics is the study of the responses

of structures due to dynamic loading. Whether an

aircraft flying through rough weather, or an offshore

wind turbine being hit by waves or a building during

an earthquake, mechanical and civil structures often

experience dynamic loads. Any real world mechanical

or civil engineer must have a good understanding of

the response of structures due to dynamic loading, in

order to design resilient structures optimized for safety,

performance and comfort.

This suite provides all the tools necessary for students to

get a strong understanding of the dynamic behavior

of structures through hands on practical experience.

VTI’s structural dynamics test instruments have been

used to optimize some of the highest performance and

most reliable designs in the world. The current Formula

1 champions Renault for example uses VTI’s hardware

to optimize the design of the F1 cars. Students with a

strong understanding of structural dynamics will be very

attractive prospects to aerospace, automotive, defense,

and civil engineering companies. In addition, these tools

provide advanced capabilities to the institutions that

will allow them to collaborate with industry partners on

research and development efforts.

Acoustics is the study of mechanical waves

in gases, liquids and solids including vibration,

sound, ultrasound and infrasound. Acoustic

studies are necessary not only for noise

reduction and optimization but also for

reducing vibrations and mechanical wear

in complex mechanical structures.

In the design of a car for example, acoustic

studies are performed not only to identify and

dampen noise sources, but also to identify

parts creating and affected by vibrations,

so that the design can be optimized. In the

aerospace industry, where durability, noise

reduction, and resilience to vibrations is critical,

acoustic studies play an important role.
