We maintain a well-equipped general purpose vibration testing laboratory which is used extensively for research, teaching and enterprise activities.
The lab can accommodate large built-up structures such as a full automotive vehicle and is equipped to test over frequencies of a few Hz to MHz. Equipment includes:
- 1D scanning laser vibrometer (Polytec PSV300)
- Single point laser vibrometer (Polytec)
- Data acquisition systems and frequency analysers
- Three 4-channel analysers (Data Physics Quattro)
- Two 8-channel analysers (Data Physics Mobilizer II)
- One 8-channel modal testing system (LMS SCADAS)
- One 4-channel data acquisition system (Prosig P8004)
- One 32-channel data acquisition system (Prosig P8020)
