Modal analysis is an essential technology behind solving today’s noise and vibration problems. This seminar focuses on the practical implementation of experimental modal analysis testing.

This is accomplished through understanding basic technical concepts and practical hands-on performance of an experimental modal test. Concepts of theoretical background, digital signal processing, excitation techniques and extraction of modal parameters from measured frequency response functions is the goal of this seminar. This course is taught by a university professor knowledgeable in the field, Dr. Peter Avitabile from the University of Massachusetts Lowell.

Siemens Simcenter Testlab is used for the experimental modal test and analysis performed during the course.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This seminar is intended for engineers and technicians that currently practice or need to learn how to do modal tests and therefore need to gain a profound insight in both practical aspects and the theories behind it. They will learn about the advantages and the limitations of the different measurement techniques and analysis options.
