The MK7 from Grindosonic uses the Impulse Excitation Technique (IET) to determine mechanical properties about bulk materials such as elastic moduli (Young’s, shear, Poisson’s ratio) and damping.

Importantly IET is a non-destructive test meaning it can be used directly on finished parts, delivering real physics based measurements instead of assumptions.

IET is extremely reproducible making this an exciting technique for use in research, process optimisation and quality control and is trusted by R&D labs, production lines and quality control teams worldwide.

Founded over 50 years ago, and with over 2000 systems installed worldwide, Grindosonic is a recognised market leader in non-destructive testing based on the Impulse Excitation Technique (IET).

How It Works

A gentle tap excites the material – this can be manually or automatically applied.

Resonance vibrations form inside the part.

Frequencies and damping are measured and converted into elastic properties such as:

  • Youngs modulus
  • Shear modulus
  • Poisson’s ratio
  • Damping capacity
  • Porosity indicators

Precise and accurate measurements with absolutely no damage to the part.
