Vibration measurement laboratory

Room: Q145_140

The vibration measurement laboratory develops techniques for vibration analysis using traditional sensors, such as accelerometers and load cells, and advanced Laser Doppler Vibrometry (LDV), including customized solutions such as tracking systems and continuous-scan LDV. The laboratory has numerous vibrometers for measuring axial, scanning, in different versions suitable for industrial, laboratory, or field applications.

Main Facilities

• Standard sensors for vibration measurement and modal analysis (accelerometers, load cells)
• Axial vibrometers (high-frequency, digital, infrared)
• Scanning vibrometers
• High-resolution and high-frame-rate vision systems (DIC – Digital Image Correlation, Optical Flow, Event-Based Cameras)
• Controlled vibration excitation systems (instrumented impact hammers and shakers of various sizes)
• Data acquisition systems (DAQ) for vibration analysis (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, acquisition boards)
• Data processing systems for modal analysis
• Vibration test benches/rigs (sinusoidal, random, and shock testing)
• Closed-loop (feedback-controlled) test benches
