Seismic Testing
What is Seismic Testing (Seismic Wave Reproduction)?
Aseismic testing is a test to confirm the degree to which a product can withstand the vibrations and impacts of an earthquake.
Specifically, we artificially reproduce the shaking and acceleration caused by earthquakes and evaluate whether the product can continue to operate normally under such conditions and whether it will not be damaged.For small to medium-sized products other than structures, the following methods are commonly used
Vibration table seismic test
The product is placed on a device called a shaking table and tested by applying shaking that simulates an earthquake.The shaking table is set to reproduce actual seismic waves, and we observe how the product reacts.
Acceleration Seismic Testing
The product is subjected to a specific acceleration to check its durability.This simulates the effects of rapid acceleration or deceleration caused by an earthquake.

Features of IMV Tests and Solutions
We can carry out vibration and shock tests on behalf of our customers, develop test conditions and assist with countermeasures in the event of failure.
We are always available to help you with the following requests and problems
- You do not know how to determine the test conditions.
- There is no problem in the field even though the test has failed.
- Want to reproduce a failure that occurred in the field, but the test does not show the same failure mode.
- The customer has presented us with test conditions, but you do not know what to do.
- Wants to review whether the existing test method is appropriate.
- If a problem occurred in the test, was it solved with a single design change?
- Want to design a product with the vibration/shock environment in mind from the development stage.
Vibration and shock testing requires a high level of expertise and extensive experience, but it is quite costly to train and maintain such specialists in each company. One solution is to outsource various vibration-related issues. The IMV Test Lab has a number of solutions, so feel free to contact us for more information.
