SDL has solved vibration and acoustics problems in environments ranging from pristine space laboratories to the harshest industrial settings: steel mills, paper mills, petrochemical plants and coal-fired power generation stations. This work requires understanding of the structural dynamic characteristics of the components involved, the excitation mechanisms, both passive and self-excited that may be contributing to the problem, and the acoustic environment. Problems solved by SDL have ranged from "standard" unbalance, misalignment or resonance related vibration to complex self-excited interactions between multiple components.

Specific applications include:

• Vehicles - automobiles, armored combat vehicles, locomotives
• Infrastructure - 30-story buildings, dance floors, highway bridges
• Process Industries- induced and forced draft fans, compressors, pumps, turbines, hog-fuel pulverizers, rolling mills, paper machines, machine tools
• Instrumentation and Consumer Products - miniature hearing aid components, Coriolis flow meters, electric tooth brush
• Aerospace – aircraft, space-based telescope prototype
