“Lunch and Learn” at EDF

We’re excited to return to Silverstone for the Instrumentation, Analysis & Testing Exhibition 2026.

The two-day TestRig symposium presents the current state of the art, future-oriented developments and outstanding case studies in the field of test rig construction and operation, and promotes the personal exchange of experience. The symposium will be complemented by an accompanying exhibition.

Strain is the single most important measurement during aircraft fatigue testing. The accuracy and precision of strain gauge measurements is of the greatest importance to exactly determine the durability and damage tolerance of a structure. The higher a structure is in the ‘pyramid of test’, the higher the test complexity, number of measurement channels, and data produced. On top of that the risk in terms of time delay and cost associated to a test program increases more than proportional with the increase in test complexity. Here are six tips to help you choose the right data acquisition system for your fatigue test:

With the increase in renewable energy sources, the challenge for electric grid operators to keep grid frequencies stable has become even more significant. Constant data collection is essential for modern control technology and makes it possible to execute controls more quickly, whereby the use of smart grids can be further optimized.
