Honeywell develops heat exchangers that are used in various devices such as aeroplanes. During the vibration testing of a heat exchanger prototype some of the components of the device failed due to large dynamic amplifications. Honeywell has asked the team to determine the cause of the large dynamic amplifications observed in the vibration testing.
