Structural Dynamics Characterization and Modeling Laboratory
DESCRIPTION
This laboratory offers advanced capabilities for the dynamic analysis of structures, materials and products, combining vibratory excitation, non-contact measurement and multichannel data acquisition technologies. In addition, it also offers high-performance numerical simulation for the design, validation and optimization of processes and components. It is a key environment for validating structural behavior in real conditions, optimizing designs and anticipating failures through predictive maintenance. Aimed at sectors such as transportation, machine tools, energy or infrastructures, it can address everything from modal characterization to sound field analysis and precision engineering.
MOST OUTSTANDING EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS
Bruel & Kjaer 12-channel Pulse dynamic acquisition and analysis system.Professional measurement platform designed to acquire, process and analyze dynamic signals such as vibration, sound, pressure, force and acceleration in real time. It is capable of acquiring signals from up to 12 transducers simultaneously, such as accelerometers, microphones, force or displacement sensors, allowing multichannel dynamic analysis.
- Multichannel acquisition of dynamic signals.
- Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) and Operational Modal Analysis (OMA).
- Time and frequency measurements of sound fields.
- Predictive maintenance
Electrodynamic exciters and vibration controller Characterization and dynamic simulation of vibrations through electrodynamic exciters, which convert electrical signals into oscillatory mechanical motion by means of electromagnetic induction. Closed-loop control involves the use of sensors to monitor in real time the generated motion and automatically adjust the input signal to maintain the desired response.
- Simulation of real vibratory environments (e.g., transport, or motor operation).
- Dynamic characterization of materials.
- Calibration of dynamic sensors.
Highly accurate measurement of object vibrations without physical contact, using a laser beam.
- Modal characterization of structures
- Evaluation of microcomponents (MEMS/NEMS)
- Rotating machinery diagnostics: predictive maintenance
