Proven in Practice
IET Solutions for Quality Control & Material Testing
54 peer-reviewed studies show how impulse excitation solves engineering problems in ceramics, metals, automotive, aerospace, and additive manufacturing.
Fifty-four peer-reviewed studies show how Impulse Excitation Technique solves engineering problems in ceramics, metals, additive manufacturing, and seven other industries. The research spans five decades and journals including the Journal of the European Ceramic Society, International Journal of Fatigue, Ceramics International, and Scientific Reports. Properties measured range from elastic modulus and damping to thermal shock resistance and defect detection. Each solution presents the problem, the IET method used, and the measured outcome.
