EXPERIMENTAL TESTING
REPLICATING THE PROBLEM BEHAVIOR PHYSICALLY TO ENABLE FURTHER ANALYSIS
Thorough analysis of vibration and instability problems begins with modeling real-world systems and simulating dynamic phenomena. At Sasquatch, we offer multiple simulation approaches and guide you in selecting the most appropriate and cost-effective path forward.
Experimental testing provides essential validation of analytical models while revealing dynamic behaviors that simulation alone cannot capture. Oftentimes, physical testing can deliver results faster and more economically than complex computational modeling.
Sasquatch Solutions offers world-class expertise in dynamic scaling and experimental testing, delivering tailored solutions to your most complex challenges, whether in wind-tunnel aeroelastic testing, in-water dynamics characterization, or controlled bench-top investigations.

WIND-TUNNEL TESTING
Our team includes industry-leading experts with decades of experience conducting dynamic wind-tunnel testing in some of the world's most advanced facilities.
We guide clients through every phase of wind-tunnel testing programs:
1. Test planning and design
2. Facility selection
3. Instrumentation strategy
4. Data system selection and acquisition
5. Analysis and interpretation

IN-WATER EXPERIMENT
We conduct in-water experimental testing for marine and hydrodynamic applications. This approach provides direct analysis of fluid-structure interactions in the relevant operating environment. Water behaves similarly to low-speed air, making in-water testing applicable beyond marine systems. In-water experiments offer reduced facility costs, greater scheduling flexibility, and faster turnaround compared to wind-tunnel testing, making it an ideal option for programs with tight timelines or budget constraints.
BENCH-TOP TESTING
We conduct bench-top physical experiments for component-level analysis when wind-tunnel or in-water facilities are unnecessary. This approach is ideal for sub-system validation and isolating individual components to characterize their dynamic response under controlled conditions. Bench-top testing delivers detailed insights needed for targeted design improvements rapidly and at low cost.
