For over 40 years, ERI instructors have been helping engineers measure, analyze and understand their over-the-road, over-and-under the sea, liftoff and in-flight environments in terms of potential damage to on-board electronic and other equipment.

When military services are not given approval to develop more rugged products, but must use existing commercial hardware, ERI has focused on protecting existing products against in-service and in-the-test-lab forces.

Climatic environmental tests. Mostly climatic chambers stressing equipment with hot and cold temperature extremes, humidity, sunlight, salt spray.

Dynamic environmental tests. Here we focus on mechanical shocks ranging from rocket ignition and stage separation to land vehicles driving on and off roads.

Formal Training:

Don’t engineers study these subjects in college? Most such university instruction deals with mathematics and theory. Little if any instruction deals with the practical matters that many engineers need, and for which ERI is justly famous.

Here are outlines whose variations have been given on site at NASA facilities, spacecraft manufacturers and DOD entities who needed to get commercial hardware to withstand aerospace/military environments:

• • CLI 512 – Thermal and Random Vibration Stressing for HALT, HASS & ESS also COTS Testing
  • V&S 510 Aerospace Vibration and Shock Testing
