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.
When Strain Gauge Is Needed
-
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.
