Case Studies

Case Study 1: Aerospace Lab Signal Conditioning – Texas, USA
A defense contractor integrated Strain Stress’ signal conditioners with strain gauges during structural fatigue testing of military aircraft components. The conditioners enabled real-time, high-resolution data acquisition that passed strict FAA qualification thresholds.
During a structural assessment project on a historical steel bridge, our signal conditioners were used to stabilize strain measurements under live traffic. The clean, real-time signals supported immediate decision-making and compliance reporting.
A Canadian university incorporated signal conditioners into a seismic shake table setup for monitoring structural responses of scaled building models. The high-gain modules delivered stable data despite rapid motion and vibration during simulated earthquake conditions.
