What Is Strain Gauge Analysis?

Strain gauge analysis measures how structures deform under real operating loads. By bonding high-precision sensors to foundations, pedestals, or machinery supports, we collect real-time data on strain, stress, and load distribution. This allows shipyards, Coast Guard cutters, and industrial facilities to diagnose alignment issues, verify structural integrity, and prevent premature component failures.

  • Chronic vibration problems

    Persistent vibration after alignment, premature bearing or seal wear.

  • New installations or retrofits

    New engines, gearboxes, pedestals, or structural changes requiring load verification.

  • Load distribution concerns

    Uneven pedestal loading, hull stress, deck deflection, shaft-line inconsistencies.

  • Structural verification

    Validate engineering assumptions, repairs, or FEA models with real data.
