Springer is a leading global scientific, technical and medical portfolio, providing researchers in academia, scientific institutions and corporate R&D departments with quality content through innovative information, products and services. Springer has one of the strongest STM and HSS eBook collections and archives, as well as a comprehensive range of hybrid and open access journals. Springer is part of Springer Nature, a global publisher that serves and supports the research community. Springer Nature aims to advance discovery by publishing robust and insightful science, supporting the development of new areas of research and making ideas and knowledge accessible around the world. As part of Springer Nature, Springer sits alongside other trusted brands like Nature Research, BMC and Palgrave Macmillan.

With over 400 employees worldwide, Polytec develops, produces, and distributes optical measurement systems for research and industry. The focus is on the technology areas of vibrometry, velocimetry, surface metrology, process analytics, machine vision and other optical technologies. Whether it's in space travel, architecture, medicine, nanotechnology, or mechanical engineering – Polytec expertise is always in demand across all industries. Laser vibrometry has proven its worth as an ideal tool for materials investigations – both for the measurement of structural dynamics and for the non-destructive detection and prevention of signs of fatigue. There is a wealth of applications in functional and long-term structural monitoring and in geological issues.
Polytec manufactures a wide range of laser vibrometers that are the acknowledged gold-standard for non-contact vibration measurement. Laser Doppler vibrometers analyze samples of different size, from entire car bodies, large bridge parts over engines and actuators to micron-sized MEMS or delicate HDD components. Measuring the transfer functions, amplitudes and resonance frequencies in a non-intrusive way with the simple “point and shoot” method is the Single Point Vibrometer’s specialty.
With the laser-based MPV-800 Multipoint Vibrometer, it is possible to carry out time-synchronous measurements with up to 48 channels and represent both frequency-dependent and time-dependent deflection shapes. The fiber-optic sensor heads are freely configurable and allow to perform flexible measurements – both parallel to a surface or arranged individually around the sample.

As a trusted partner, MSC Software helps companies improve quality, save time and reduce costs associated with design and test of manufactured products. Our products accurately and reliably predict how products will behave in the real world to help engineers design more innovative products - quickly and cost effectively. MSC Software's technology is used by leading manufacturers for linear and nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA), acoustics, fluid-structure interaction (FSI), multi-physics, optimization, fatigue and durability, multi-body dynamics, and control systems simulation. MSC Software Corporation is part of Hexagon, a leading global provider of information technologies that drive productivity and quality across geospatial and industrial enterprise applications.

MTS Systems is a global supplier of test systems and industrial position sensors. The company provides test and measurement solutions to determine the performance and reliability of vehicles, aircraft, civil structures, biomedical materials and devices and raw materials. Examples of MTS products include: aerodynamics simulators, seismic simulators, load frames, hydraulic actuators and sensors. The company operates in two divisions: Test and Sensors. MTS test systems are designed to simulate the forces and motions that materials, products and structures are expected to encounter. MTS Sensors are used by manufacturers of plastic injection molding machines, steel mills, fluid power, oil and gas, medical, wood product processing equipment, mobile equipment and alternative energy. Sensors division products are also used to measure fluid displacement, such as liquid levels for customers in the process industries. With the acquisition of PCB Piezotronics Inc. in 2016, MTS has increased Sensor products - microphones, vibration, pressure, force, torque, load, and strain sensors - and presence.
