Equipment

The Vibration Laboratory contains vibration instrumentation, excitation sources, controllers, and data acquisition with high-performance computing abilities. Below are examples of the equipment used in the laboratory.

Vibration controller and data acquisition

The Vibrations Laboratory has a vibration controller capable of running swept sine and random tests. A six-channel data acquisition system is used to measure response.

Mechanical System Demonstrations for Teaching

Several demonstrators have been developed to support teaching of vibrations courses. These systems give students the opportunity to see the vibrations that are modeled in classes and homework.

Projects
