A key goal in several structural dynamics studies is to define the locations on a structure where failures are most likely to occur. Fatigue damage is a result of fluctuating strain. Therefore, it is ...
The introduction of integrated functionality into MEMS devices, such as the incorporation of thin piezoelectric layers, led ...
Laser vibrometers consist of a low-power laser beam, picking up the signature of a vibrating object and transferring it into an output proportional to velocity and displacement that the researcher can ...
The Polytec Inc. PSV-400-3D scanning laser vibrometer, utilized in experimental modal analysis, uses Doppler shift of back-scattered laser light to determine instantaneous velocity and displacement of ...
