Semester | Autumn Semester 2016 |
Lecturers | F. Kuster, K. Wegener |
Periodicity | every semester recurring course |
Language of instruction | German |
Comment | All Engineering Tool courses are for MAVT-Bachelor students only. Number of participants limited to 16. Only one course can be chosen per semester. |
Abstract | Measuring- and analysis-methods for the determination of transfer functions of mechanical structures. Evaluation and preparation of the measured data for visualisation and interpretation of the dynamic behaviour. |
Objective | Introduction into the practical application of measuring- and analysis-methods for determination of transfer functions of mechanical structures. Evaluation and preparation of the measured data for visualisation and interpretation of the dynamic behaviour. |
Content | Acquaintance with the acceleration- and force-sensors, measurement of transfer functions of mechanical structures, determination and description of modes of vibration by means of practical examples, introduction into the vibration theory and its fundamental terms, discrete oscillator. |
Lecture notes | yes, distribution in the course (CHF 20.-) |
Literature | David Ewins, Modal Testing: Theory and Practice |
Prerequisites / Notice | In the practical part of the course the participants self will make measurements on structures and then analyse them for eigenfrequencies and modes of vibrations. |
