Vibrations Lab

Mechanical Vibration is an important issue for mechanical fatigue failure, machinery precision, and manufacturing process. The mechanical design in domestic industry is still in a structural static analysis or even just for simple mechanics calculation and neglects the importance of dynamic analysis. An understanding on the dynamics and vibration is very crucial for the design engineers. The vibration lab offers practical exposure on the concept of vibration. The students can gain experience in understanding the dynamic characteristics of a system or a structure. Students will be trained in measurement of motion by using hands-on experience with working on vibration signals from the accelerometers, displacement measuring sensors, and strain gage. Using the sensors signals, students can perform time domain and frequency domain analysis to vibration response of a dynamic system. Also, they can perform experimental modal analysis via impact hammer and shaker tests to predict the system behavior. Based on the experimental response students can propose the modification in the system by incorporating the vibration mitigation strategies like absorption or isolation to improve its dynamic response.?
