OPERATIONAL TESTING


Test for Success

  • Create testing goals
  • Design effective tests
  • Measure and verify structural behavior
  • Validate engineering assumptions
  • Optimize your structure
  • Meet environmental challenges

Understand Your Environment

Identifying, measuring, and quantifying operational behavior gives you the tools necessary to determine a structure's performance relative to design goals, ensuring engineering objectives are satisfied. Quartus uses operational testing to develop accurate boundary conditions used to gauge and optimize a structure’s response. Quartus has the experience and equipment necessary to design your test, install measurement sensors, acquire data, analyze results, and implement design changes to meet the performance requirements.

Effective Testing is Efficient

Quartus uses advanced engineering techniques to optimally select sensor types and location, maximizing the quality of test data while minimizing the impact on your projects schedule. Before the test, engineers use analysis methods to predict the response of the structure, providing a road map to the most valuable sensor locations. Data collected at these optimal sensor locations can then be correlated to theoretical models of the structure, allowing engineers to fully understand the boundary conditions and physical responses of the structure. All test procedures are documented in a clear test plan outlining goals, locations, and metrics for success.
