    Root Cause Failure Analysis

    D019787

    SwRIs analysis of vibration data provides insight into the machinery dynamics during the failure event.

    D019786

    D019783

    SwRI supports failure analysis for a large variety of turbomachinery including compressors, turbines, and pumps.

    SwRI engineers often perform modal testing to determine structure dynamics without the need for engineering models.

    Engineers and scientists at SwRI use various metallurgical analysis techniques to determine the mode of fracture.
